Thanks to people who worked hard to stop this nonsense!!
What nonsense?
Fully agree, I honestly can't imagine a US with Marc's work and that of his team.
@@mb-3faze Wtf are you talking about? What work?
Hakeem Jeffries is now even more likely to become Speaker of the House.
🙏💙
II'll add another scoop of antimatter pellets to the way-back viewer, here. The first vote for Speaker, Jeffries won. The Republicans couldn't vote on just one of their own, so Jeffries should still hold the gavel, unless Moscow Marge had him removed by now. Russpublican tactics 101: Cheat until you win.
About time SCOTUS has done the right thing......
Even if it was for the wrong reason (Purcell doctrine). 🤣
Blind squirrels and nuts ...
Ed G
That only means they're going to fuck us somewhere else. Have to keep up that "appearance of impartiality" ya know.
You guys are just the best. Well done on the victory.
Supreme Court is finally doing their job!!
Let's wait and see.
Not the 3 worst corrupt bought crooks
Well, the result is proper. The conservatives reason to rule this way is NOT. They ruled not because they agreed that blacks should have a second district; they ruled this way because they believe that it is too close to the election to make changes.
@@t.dickinson7942there are several SC judges that still have the very same sickness as their ancestors.
1. Clarence Thomas- submissive.
2. Brett Cavanaugh-he bought me outright.
3. John Roberts- they are my good ole buddies
4. Amy C.Barrett - I can't go against my husband because I'm sore down there.
5. The highest bidder!

That's the way democracy works..................way to go! VOTE BLUE.
Well done, now get OUT AND VOTE PEOPLE. Thanks, Marc, for informing us of the good news.
It is one of those things that can't be spun. We still need judiciary reform after Maga gets kicked to the curb in November.
Applaud the minorities we have to move forward 👏
Yahoo!!! I am so happy for the black voters. They so deserve this!👏Huge tks to the non-blacks who took this disgraceful matter up. As I am a non-black, older white lady is truly happy - for whatever reasons from the justices!💗This sets a solid preacedent for the future of voting in America!👏👏
I hope you’re right!
Super great for DEMOCRACY. Praise God for wins for justice.
Thanks Marc and Paige for all your hard work and making us smarter!💙💙💙😮
That's what I like about this site. Vote blue 💙
Yes, I've learned so much about voting rights laws from Democracy Docket! TY Marc Elias & Co. for keeping us informed. 💙 Vote blue!
It's so hard to clap when SCOTUS finally -- FINALLY -- does the no-brainer right thing.
Let’s all vote blue and hope that the dems end up in majority in both houses and the Presidency. If we can get those voting rights enshrined in law, maybe we can block the GOP from their gerrymandering and voter suppression activities. 💙
There are constitutional amendments dealing with voting rights, but the racist remnants of the southern dinosaurs are still around. They create loopholes, such as felons can't vote. Then cops are all but instructed to target Blacks, bring them to justice for anything at all, instant felon, one less Black vote. Speeding, 73 in a 55? Felony, 3 years! It's that easy, and that's how it was done. Those loopholes in the amendments must be repealed and voting rights restored. Out of jail, you can vote. "Fuck with democracy, will ya? Find out!"
Finally...some good news on our democracy front ....thank you both ...please keep up the good fight...our democracy needs more people to fight this corruption...
Who funds them? Many Court cases around the country. Wow!
how is this democracy? Race-based voting is not democracy. if black people make up 13% of the population they should make up 13% of congresstional districts.
It’s about time.
Thank you Mark and crew
Congratulations!
Keep fighting for us Mark! You're making a difference for us.
Excellent work folks ✌🏼
Marc you are so inspiring. Cheering you on from Canada. Whatever the MAGA try in USA, the Conservatives try here.
Maga is supposedly the conservative here. Far right spreading all through the world. Let it not be us.
That’s excellent news 💕
Thank you so much for everything you do Marc & team. Couldn’t have known anything like this without you guys.
Finally some good news for voters out of the SCOTUS!! Thanks for all your work on defending voting rights. 🙏
Thank you Mark for sticking up for voting rights, and for explaining it all to us.
Congratulations Louisiana 🦾👏👏👏👏
I'm a Caucasian Democrat. Something needs to be done in SC. I had to update my registration for 2020 and now again in 2024. Different Senate district this time. I don't remember what it was in 2020. 😡
SC is an example of what happens when corrupt Republicans have a trifecta and control all 3 branches of government. Dem top to bottom of ballot is the only way to rescue this Republic from the Republican forces of evil and believe me Republicans love crime.
"find my congressional representative" might do the trick. Enter your address, and it will possibly show you to your public servants. It took a while, but I found mine. He's blue. Use the computer. It doesn't care which party you belong to. It'll tell you your district, gerrymandered or not. Louisiana's fuckery might not be over. I'm thinking, since when has MAGA obeyed the lawful orders of a court?
Love hearing some good news for once. Congrats Louisiana voters!!! ❤
Hooray!! Finally doing What’s RIGHT !!!!!!!
We just need SCOTUS to do the right thing EVERY TIME they are faced with critical issues, such as those threatening the future of our country and our democracy.
Specific members of SCOTUS, in particular.😊
Amen.
Great job. Now the question is will they adhere to the rules.
Thank you. Great news
Thank you!
Most people are not aware of the voting suppression problems in our country. Thank you for fighting for voting rights.
Certainly shocking
Isn't it a shame when we're shocked that the Supreme Court rules in favor of fair voting practices?
@sue7734
Yes! It's about time!! Now we hope they do the right thing on the tRump immunity whine!! 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
It is ashame. Just makes me wonder if they will give Trump immunity because they did their job once. When Trump should have NO Immunity at all. 💙👍
Keep telling SCOTUS that it’s OUR Constitution, not just YOURS!
Cheers, Louisiana 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent! Good work!
I question if the republicans will even honor what the court says.
Oh bother we have already printed the voting papers and it’s too late to re do them oh bother oh gosh oh so sorry about that
Yay!!!!! You are amazing. The work you do...... you are true hero's and saviors.
Excellent! Thank you Marc and Team at Democracy Docket.
Thank you Marc Elias and Page Moskowitz for continuing the fight for our Democracy!!
Thank you Mark, for all you and your Team continue to do for Democracy 👍🏻👏🏻
Great news! Thank you for all the work you do for us citizens! After all the bad news from supreme court clowns, this is welcome.
Yeah
Awesome!
Democracy Docket Rocks🏛️🥌
Thank you, Marc, I'm a believer in you
Thank you so much for the endless hard work your team does to save our democracy!! 🤩
So if the conservative justices voted correctly and timely in the Alabama and Louisiana cases, why are they slow walking the South Carolina case?
Take a wild guess
@@Lo51848 Maybe if you really have a good explanation why they are treating South Carolina different from the other two southern states, as far as timeliness goes, you could enlighten us all. After all, that is supposedly what these discussions are about...to further people's knowledge.
You guys RULE! Keep up the good work.
Fantastic well done
So is the Louisiana GOP just going to ignore this ruling too? Without any real consequences as usual?
There's no qualified immunity if they ignore the ruling to fuck around and find out, ah!
Yes, that is exactly what they are doing (Louisiana resident here). Disenfranchise voters, deny women bodily autonomy, and make it legal for everyone to carry concealed weapons without permits... Louisiana is basically a cross between Florida and Texas, we just don't make the news very often.
Just be careful that this is not a piece of meat to distract the guard dogs.
I dont fully understand how important what you are doing is, but I get the gist. Thank you for your action and education.
It's about time the 9 votes that count has started to address the elephant in the courtroom. VOTE!!💙💙💙💯
I just hope they hurry up for a simple answer from the supreme court judges that Trump has NO immunity for any crime. They still haven't giving a answer to that.
YAY!! Finally some good news!
Good job
Thank you for all your efforts!!
Thanks
Congrats, Louisiana from your neighbor in Mississippi.
AWESOME
oh i saw this on cnn, but waiting till this video to get the full story. All the videos I saw on this were less than 3 minutes long. Thanks for the context.
Kudos to the those championing voting right, and democrary for black Americans, and ultimately all Americans.
There is hope. VOTE VOTE VOTE..!
Thank you for everything you do !
Thanks for all the work your doing for America Democracy
Yaaaaasssss!!! Thank God!!! Thanks for the great news Mark. Thanks for all you and your colleagues do for our country. God bless you and much love from Louisiana.
Another hallelujah! ❤😊
Marc please keep fighting for us 🙏 because we love you So much
Than God! Many blessings too come for Truth & Justice and rule of law. ❤😊
The fact that the Supreme Court has had to strike down this gerrymandering MULTIPLE times is just absurd.
Democracy and we the people thank you for all your hard work.
Keep Working and Speaking 🗣️ Democracy Docket and Marc Elias for Defending Democracy and The Constitution 🗽 🇺🇲 🌠 💙 ⭐ ✨
This is one of most important channels on the tube. You guys are heroes
Great 👍🏼
Good News to hear after the Baton Rouge issue! It's a battle to hang onto democracy. 💪 Thanks from Georgia
Yeah Vote Democracy Never Autocracy in America 💙 🇺🇸 🙄!!
Yea! Another step forward. Wonder if the SC thinks we will look the other way regarding all their horrible decisions .
That's great but what about SC?
I notice that 3 SCOTUS judges dissented. 🤦🏻♂️
Did you watch the video?
@@jufulu7066 Not all of it, I must admit.
I love you guys thank you so much for protecting our democracy
Thank you Marc‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷‼️‼️‼️
👍🏾👍🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Great job Marc & crew 👍🏾👍🏾✊🏾💙💙
At least some of the Supreme Court did their job.
Thank you Marc! You deserve so much credit for fighting for civil rights!
Thank you Marc and team!
Excellent episode and fantastic news 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you both and your Team for keeping us updated on these important issues. The Republicans know they can't win unless they cheat.
Again, many thanks
💙💙👍👍💙💙
EXCELLENT NEWS! Keep fighting the good fight!
You lguys are AWESOME! Now, let's hope that Louisiana abides by the ruling. I seem to recall that Texas is not abiding from a ruling of sorts.....yet.
Thanks to folks like you all!
Cheers to your organization Mark! Keep up the good work!
A Federal law needs to be written to prohibit gerrymandering. Every state would need to demonstrate equal maps every 2 years or lose federal funding for infrastructure, health care, etc. And that cannot be sued to change it. It would require another law reversing it.
Just wait . whenever this Scotus does the right thing, it usually means major damaging rulings are coming.
I'm also suspicious.
I am SHOOK.
Thanks Marc and Paige
Thank you Marc for all you do for democracy! I love your newsletters they are so informative!
