Voting rights saga over race-based redistricting comes to US supreme court

But the court’s six conservative justices all appeared much more skeptical of the district. They attacked it on a variety of grounds, including questioning whether the initial case striking down the map was correctly decided and whether Louisiana was obligated to draw a new map if they believed the courts were wrong.

“What if the Robinson decision were plainly wrong?” justice Samuel Alito asked, referring to the original decision ordering Louisiana to add a second majority-Black district. “Would you still have a good reason to follow it?” Alito later all but said he believed the Robinson decision was wrong.

J Benjamin Aguiñaga, Louisiana’s solicitor general and former Alito clerk, said repeatedly that even though Louisiana believed the court’s original decision was wrong, it still had an obligation to follow court rulings.

Even Republicans on the Supreme Court are getting on board with ignoring rulings you think are wrong. Do these dumbasses understand that they're going to put themselves out of a job?
