How is it possible that someone like yourself, if you claim to have “strong libertarian leanings”, how can you respect Kagan in any way?

Often less than two are needed with some of the “Conservatives “ we have on the bench.

Well, of course she did. But somehow she overlooks the ignorance of her fellow female (not lady) justices.

SCOTUS (as an appellate court rather than a fact finder) owes a certain level of deference to the District Judge who heard the case and made the factual determinations.
As such, she felt that SCOTUS should not have discarded the work of the District Judge
I guess there’s no need for SCOTUS anymore. Just trust in the lower courts.

fify - but that statement is not apt for only justices.
The one and only democrat 'value' is that race is the ONLY important aspect for ANY legislation, election, resolution, result, or thought.

That’s exactly what the Dems want, and all these meathead retards out there protesting championing for all the frickin illegal hollering our side is fascit nazis if the Dems ever get power back all these other judges fricking idiots gonna suffer the same fate as those on the right

What a load of more partisan bullshite by the majority.
This case won't affect the midterms anyway.

Sounds like she's tipping her hand on the Louisiana case

The Court won't touch California.

Kagan quotes legislators SPECIFICALLY STATING racial motives (such as creating safe Latino districts, versus Dem Districts)
So, her argument is that the Texas map should be thrown out because it was created based on race?
Was that really her argument? Despite the fact that courts have ordered states to create racial districts?
Or is her argument that we must keep race based districts, which just always happen to benefit her political party?
If it's the first, then she's dumb and not fit for the bench. If it's the second, she's a partisan hack and not fit for the bench.

Only certain minority majority drawn districts are acceptable I guess.

So Kagan believe 2 judges have more authority to represent all Texas voters than the elected House and Senate members elected by texas voters?

Yes. Just like on The View, or in the car line at an elementary school.

Do California.
There’s a neighborhood not to far from me that will be split into three different districts. But the dems say it’s a good thing because they will have more opportunity to be heard.

The competing concern (obviously) is the upcoming statutory timelines related to 2026 elections.
That is certainly one concern.
Another, at least equally important that the majority discusses, is that it has been well known for a while that partisan preference and race are correlated. So opponents of partisan re-districting can claim race based motive on any partisan re-draw.
That is why SCOTUS precedents require that challengers to a Legislature drawn map have the burden of disentangling race from partisanship. That was not done in this case - a clear error by the District Court.

I disagree with her politics, but Kagan is one of the brighter representatives of the Left to have served on the Court in recent history. Grouping her with the Wise Latina and Jackson is entirely unfair to her.
I’ve met all 3 and I completely agree with you. But Kagan is still a liberal hack.
