Justice Kagan eviscerates that fucking fascist Alito in her dissent in the SC gerrymandering decision.

This is a thing of fucking beauty. Eat a bag of rancid dicks, fuckface insurrectionist.

"The majority invents a new rule of evidence to burden plaintiffs in racial-gerrymandering cases," Kagan wrote. "As of today, courts must draw an adverse inference against those plaintiffs when they do not submit a so-called alternative map — no matter how much proof of a constitutional violation they otherwise present. Such micro-management of a plaintiff ’s case is elsewhere unheard of in constitutional litigation."

"But as with its upside-down application of clear-error review, the majority is intent on changing the usual rules when it comes to addressing racial-gerrymandering claims," Kagan added.

Better option would be to go after their sponsors by taking their money.

Looks like a fluffy grey cat.
I believe it's thinking judgmental thoughts about Alito. As grey cats will do.

It's still probably thinking judgmental thinks.

13. Alito says Justice Kagan is misreading a precedent that Justice Kagan wrote.

Cooper v. Harris is a redistricting case out of North Carolina that the Supreme Court decided in 2017, similar to this case, and the Court struck down the map.

Justice Kagan wrote the majority in that case, and Alito says that her dissent in this South Carolina case based on an "imaginary version" of that 2017 opinion... again, an "imaginary version" of an opinion that Justice Kagan herself wrote.

Alito effectively guts the Cooper v Harris precedent, and then claims the author of that precedent, Justice Kagan, is misreading Cooper v Harris.

Alito has never been a reasonable human being. Alito is subhuman and Machiavellian. Thomas is worse. Chumps appointees just make it all much more dismal. The court is broken and everyone knows

grossly unethical behavior and partisan application of the law. It will be interesting to see if this is the beginning of a major change in relations on the court. Roberts needs to step up and enforce ethical standards being freely violated by Alito and Thomas.
