The US Supreme Court cleared California to use its new congressional map that favors Democrats during this year's midterm election, giving the party a pathway to neutralize anticipated Republican gains in the House due to new districts in Texas.

The justices on Wednesday denied a request from the California Republican party and the US Department of Justice to prevent the state from using its new voter-approved map on the grounds that it was racially gerrymandered and therefore illegal. California leaders have maintained that the new map was drawn purely to counteract the Republican redistricting in Texas and that race was not a factor.

The court denied the request without explanation or any noted dissent.

After this Supreme Court allowed the Texas redistricting, there was no way for them to deny this without completely destroying the entire judicial branches credibility which they were already on that path.

The DOJ of course has shown just how completely corrupt they are under this administration.

Stick that up where the sun don't shine Abbott and Paxton, who have done nothing but hurt Texas.
