      They dont have that much time:

      The case will likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, but time is short: Candidates only have until Dec. 8 to file for the upcoming election.

      Id expect the shadow docket will do its shadow tricks and halt the halt, but its not cut and dry.

      This Supreme Court ruled against Alabama’s bullshit redistricting and is currently looking at Louisiana’s changes. I can give you 2 dozen other cases where this SCOTUS voted “woke” or refused to hear such a case, letting a lower court’s “woke” decision stand.

      Yes, Alito and Thomas (especially Thomas) are blatantly corrupt, I get that. But these people are at the top of their profession, can’t be voted out, have nothing left to lose but their legacy in the law books. They are conservative, they are not partisan. Does that make sense?

      Y’all are skeptical, and right to be so, but does no one actually follow the news?
