This is Jim Crow! Reid & Panel FREAK OUT Over Alabama Congressional Maps

Joy Reid, MSNBC race smuggler, had a freak out Tuesday night ReidOut over the Supreme Court’s decision not to hear a case challenging Alabama’s new congressional district maps. Reid, as she does so often, used poisonous language against her political enemies and called the Roberts Court the “new Plessy Court.”

Reid opened the show with her usual venomous style, claiming “…”The current court’s activists are showing precedent doesn’t matter much to them. They declare open season on voting rights of Americans of Color.” Reid spoke of the five conservative jurists who were on the court. “the five judicial right-wing horsemen of the MAGA apocalypse decided that it is fine for Alabama to gerrymander to hurt black people so long as they don’t explicitly say race.” 

Next, she claimed Justice Brett Kavanaugh was “credibly charged sexually assaulter”, even though multiple investigations had proven otherwise. Next up was former US District Attorney Joyce Vance, who gave her take on the Supreme Court’s decision. She urged the Justice Department for assistance and requested that Alabama be redrawn its maps. Her belief was further affirmed by her. “It’s time to reinstate the Voting rights Act.” 

Reid dismissed any possibility that Congress might vote to reinstate the Voting rights Act in its current form because of “The Eastman and Thurmond Wing of the Democratic Party Manchin and Sinema” 

The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal was then contacted by her to give his view on Alabama and the Supreme Court. It was as bizarre as one could imagine. 

This isn’t Jim Crow. This is Jim Crow. This was what the court did during Jim Crow. My mother is now 70. She was more than 70 when she was born. She was born in Mississippi in 1950. It has been a difficult time for her. It’s still happening. But I cannot get anyone to notice, even Democrats. It is because the Supreme Court doesn’t have to act. The court can refuse to apply the 15th Amendment against states. It’s been there before. There was the Civil Rights Act of 1870, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of voting and race. Was it important? No. When conservatives are in control of the court, no. The Civil Rights Act of 1875 made it unlawful to discriminate against persons in public accommodation. Was it important? No. No, not if conservatives have control of the Supreme Court. Nothing will stop as long as the conservatives have control of the third branch. Nothing is accomplished. It is okay to keep on racism.

Mystal vented his fury at Reid, his leftist colleagues and Reid for not wanting to acknowledge Chief Justice John Roberts’ support of the three liberal judges involved in this case. “don’t give any credit to your boy John Roberts because while he sided with the liberals on the procedural issue. He made it pretty clear that when it comes up on the merits, he’s also going to allow the racist Alabama maps to go through.” 

Mystal continued to lose his head, and he wailed. Black people cannot help you. Black Americans can’t save America from Trumpers if they don’t allow them to. The only thing you can do to stop conservative control over the Supreme Court.   

Mystal must not be able to see any of the new gerrymandered mapping created by Democrats from New York or Illinois. Alabama’s map could easily have been labelled Jim Crow.

JOY RID: The activists of the current court have shown that precedent does not matter to them. The activists are declaring open play on voting rights in America of Color, and escalate the fight against the Voting Right Act of 1965. This is all to try, it appears, to make the Plessy Court their new home. The court ruled in favor of Alabama using a new congressional map. This halted a lower court ruling that said it had violated the Voting rights Act when it denied black voters an additional district. These five right-wing judicial horsemen from the MAGA apocalypse determined that Alabama is allowed to gerrymander in order to disadvantage black voters, as long as it doesn’t specifically state race. Brett Kavanaugh beerpong, Associate Justice, and credibly accused of sexual assault, shouted his opinion that the election was close. Following in the footsteps of Mitch McConnell, He even tried the excuse that it was not decided on its merits. Alabama Republicans will have the advantage of having oral arguments later on, but they won’t be before the midterm elections. In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan was having none of that, writing that Alabama is not entitled to keep violating black Alabamians voting rights just because the court’s order came down in the first month of an election year. 

According to her, granting the stay would be a disservice of the lower court’s precedent application and worst of all it would do a disservice for black Alabamians that have seen their electoral power decrease under this precedent in violation of a law the court was once able to protect all American democracy. As a reminder of the extreme nature of the decision, you can see Chief Justice John Roberts’s legal career was devoted to dismantling and then finally just removing it from effect in 2013. In the Shelby decision 2013, Roberts sided for the liberals. Meanwhile, the litigation will continue. The Plaintiff Evan Milligan said in a statement “we are reminded of the strength and dignity displayed by our ancestors who routinely confronted a wide variety of disappointments. “We won’t disrespect their legacy by taking down the torch that they gave us,”

JOYCE VAANCE: The DOJ has been committed and kept their word on the promise to do the most they could with existing laws. Joy: As Elie and me have talked with many times, Joy, many aspects of the Voting rights Act were shattered. In Shelby County vs Holder Section 5 was removed, while Section 2 in Bernavich was eliminated last term. DOJ has limited power to move, so it can file claims. Chris England of the Alabama Democratic Party, tweeted last night something that I believe hits the mark. The head of the Alabama Democratic Party, Chris England said that it was time for Congress to adopt a new voting rights bill. The law passed repeatedly by bipartisan majority must be re-enacted. They suddenly became unpopular with Republicans. The time has come to restore the Voting rights Act.

REID: Good luck. The Eastman-Thurmond wing of Democratic Party Manchin, Sinema, are weighing in. They will be like, nope, couldn’t do this. Our donors said we couldn’t. So. No! Elie! I will let you weigh-in here. It feels like the Plessy Court. The stare decisis words are empty. They don’t care about precedent. It is Donald Trump’s political agenda, right-wingers have the exact same one and will continue to do so. They aren’t even interested. 

ELIE MYSTAL : Oh Joy, I don’t know how to explain this to people. It’s not Jim Crow. This is Jim Crow. This was what the court did during Jim Crow. My mother is now 70. She was more than 70 when she was born. She was born in Mississippi in 1950. It has been a difficult time for her. It’s still happening. But I cannot get anyone to notice, even Democrats. It is because the Supreme Court doesn’t have to act. The court can refuse to apply the 15th Amendment against states. It’s been there before. There was the Civil Rights Act of 1870, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of voting and race. Was it important? No. When conservatives are in control of the court, no. The Civil Rights Act of 1875 made it unlawful to discriminate against persons in public accommodation. Was it important? No. No, not if conservatives have control of the Supreme Court. Nothing will stop as long as the conservatives have control of the third branch. Nothing is accomplished. It is okay to keep racism going. Brett Kavanaugh was the one to do it. Neil Gorsuch, and all the rest of the 5 of them did the same. Don’t forget John Roberts, your fellow boy.

REID: Nope.

MYSTAL: He sided with liberals in the procedural matter. He made it pretty clear that when it comes up on the merits, he’s also going to allow the racist Alabama maps to go through. I can’t help you if you don’t — black people can’t help you. If you do not allow us to save the country, black people cannot. Stopping conservative control at the Supreme Court is the only way to save us.
