does this mean he's disqualified from being in the pool to hear the case in the 5th cir? and disqualified from sitting en banc? |
|
Date: November 19th, 2025 7:37 PM Author: Chocolate faggotry The case goes to the original Dist. J. to whom it was assigned plus 2 judges designated by POTUS of the relevant COA, at least one of whom must be a COA judge.
I presume the COA judge would not be on the panel for the appeal. Maybe he could be sitting en banc. |

Date: November 19th, 2025 7:29 PM Author: Glassy main people To be fair,
1. Extremely Boomerish dissent. There's no reason this couldn't have been trimmed down to 20 pages.
2. Having said that, Jerry Smith has been one of the biggest COA > SCOTUS Feeders for decades. Libs might be laughing now, but this guy unironically has the ear of several SCOTUS Justices and he seems EXTREMELY PISSED about how all of this went down, on every level. When this decision inevitably gets appealed to SCOTUS, I'm not sure things will ultimately turn out the way libs are hoping they will. We'll see what unfolds! |
|
Date: November 19th, 2025 7:39 PM Author: Chocolate faggotry This is about as shocking a statement as you'll see in a "scathing" dissent: "I also need to highlight the pernicious judicial misbehavior of U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown."

|
Date: November 19th, 2025 7:53 PM Author: Chocolate faggotry I read the first few pages. The complained-of conduct--at least the conduct Judge Smith is leading with--is that the majority didn't let him see a draft of their opinion until shortly before they issued it (with a note that Judge Smith would be appending a dissent).
That's it? That's his first and best argument? Who cares? |
|
Date: November 19th, 2025 8:23 PM Author: deranged talented depressive school cafeteria I'm sure the opinion is shit but going absolutely BERSERK over drafting practices that the general public doesn't give a shit about dramatically undermines his dissent.

I at least credit his clerks for getting him to remove all the anti-trans slurs. |

Date: November 22nd, 2025 12:04 PM Author: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i get your point and agree that that's what some people and judges think.
i just wanted to add that when you adjust a district to make it more likely that a black will be elected, you are simultaneously making it harder for blacks to get elected in adjoining districts and are making black votes less powerful in the adjoining districts. |
|
Date: November 22nd, 2025 12:32 PM Author: 3I/Atlas Not valid in practice. The only place where adjustments matter politically is in the 45-55% range. If you take a group's voice from 25 to 20% or 15 to 25%, it doesn't matter for that group's electoral results. Same if you increase their representation from 60 to 65%.
Where you can get in trouble, however, is when you try to over-optimize your safe seats by giving yourself 55% in a bunch of districts, putting the opponent into a single 95% district. That may be optimal some years, but every now and then an electoral shift comes along, and all of your 55% seats turn into 49ers, and the other side shoots the moon. |
