BREAKING: Ron DeSantis suggests Supreme Court intentionally DELAYED decision on redistricting

by The Right Scoop

Governor Ron DeSantis, responding to a WSJ article on a footnote from Justice Alito, suggests that the Supreme Court intentionally delayed their decision on redistricting because it’s an election year.

Here’s the post from DeSantis:

The Supreme Court heard argument in the Callais racial gerrymandering case last October, yet didn’t release the decision until last week.

Did the liberal justices slow walk the dissent in the hope that the ruling would come too late in the election cycle for implementation?

We didn’t let the delay deter us for moving forward with a corrected map in Florida.

 
Former prosecutor Bill Shipley, otherwise known as shipwreckedcrew, wrote on this yesterday saying it’s implied that the delay was caused t the liberal justices writing the dissent, namely Kagan:

For those who might not realize the significance of Ron’s referenced to “conferenced” — immediately after oral arguments the Justices go into “conference” in a room with no clerks, just the 9 Justices. The vote on the outcome of the case just argued.

That’s the decision — they know that day which side wins.

Writing the opinion is then assigned to a Justice in the majority. If the Chief is in the Majority, he decides who will write the opinion. If the Chief is in the Minority, the senior most Justice in the Majority decides.

Alito’s point is the outcome of this case was known more than 7 months ago — it was argued in October.

The fact that is is Alito, the author of the Court’s Opinion, who calls this out is implied confirmation that it was the writing of the dissent by Kagan that delayed announcing the decision.

If the libs wanted to better cover their tracks, they would have written 3 different dissents and had a better excuse for it taking as long as it did.
