From The Absolute Damn they don't Give[June '26] 👆Louisiana State Senator Wilford Dan Carter explicated an extremely important portion of what makes this encroaching exfoliation of voting aspirations extremely evident. Callais et al is illegal in which it was concocted on the state litigant level, for which some were not aware their names were amongst the twelve plaintiffs. And so the United States Supreme Court. and in particular Justice Samuel Alito conscrued a mechanism by which an extreme voter suppression could be concocted at the behest of their "great white hope" in the person of Donald John Trump & cohorts including the maximist Elon Musk and the now infamous doge.
The democracy, yet a "Republic if you can keep it"; exclaimed by Benjamin Franklin has us all reeling as the 'south attempts to rise again' as promised. We thought it 'undoneingly' when that guy marched through the defrocked U. S. Capitol halls with the "battle flag of the Confederate States of America" and that shaman guy lifting up his ritualistic voice for their 'supreme master' the donald; but here we are with a wrestling extravagance on the grounds of a semi-demolished federal residence and office that slave constructed.
All the while, the world, the entire global society has come to North America, and Black Africans from Somalia are denied entrance to the United States and brown participants from the Islamic Republic of Iran, are housed in Mexico with our tan and black & cream colored brothers and sisters. And, this place the United States which spouts Democracy like the waters of Niagara Falls is not any thing close to those Falls.
All of my years, Caucasian folks consistently have pushed black folk to the ends of resistance.
The bottom line is Louisiana, is and has been the root of the Dixie experience, from Plessy v. Ferguson to Callais et al.
To permit the losing party time to file a petition for rehearing, the Clerk of Court ordinarily waits 32 days after the entry of the Court’s judgment to send the opinion and a certified copy of the judgment to the clerk of the lower court. Sup. Ct. Rule 45.3.
This period is subject to adjustment; the default applies “unless the Court or a Justice shortens or extends the time.” Ibid. The Callais appellees have asked for the Clerk to issue the judgment forthwith so that “in the event of a judicial remedy,” the District Court may “oversee an orderly process.” App. 3.
*Appellant Louisiana does not oppose this application.
And while the *Robinson appellants oppose it, they have not expressed any intent to ask this Court to reconsider its judgment.
Thus, the application to issue the judgment forthwith presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is granted.
Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas and Justice Gorsuch join, concurs. (Detached Opinion ) Justice Jackson dissents. (Detached Opinion )
ROBINSON APPELLANTS’ MOTION TO RECALL THE JUDGMENT
The Robinson Appellants respectfully move this Court to recall the judgment
in Louisiana v. Callais, Nos. 24-109 & 24-110, issued on May 4, 2026, and request
reconsideration of this Court’s order, No. 25A1197 (May 4, 2026) (the “Order”),
granting Appellees’ Application for Issuance of a Copy of the Opinion and Certified
Copy of the Judgment Forthwith, No. 25A1197 (Apr. 29, 2026) (the “Application”).
Appellees and Appellant the State of Louisiana oppose this Motion.
In support, Appellants cited
Rule 44.1, noting that it allows parties twenty-five days to seek rehearing of any
judgment of this Court. Appellants intend to request rehearing in this case, and,
accordingly, respectfully request that this Court recall the judgment, reconsider its
order granting the Application, and deny the Application.
Until today, the second
and third preconditions focused simply on racially polarized
voting: Plaintiffs had to show that minority citizens vote co-
hesively, but cannot elect their preferred candidates be-
cause majority citizens vote as a bloc for others. See supra,
at 18–19. Now the majority introduces a new requirement
to impede Section 2 suits: “[T]he plaintiffs must provide an
analysis that controls for party affiliation.” Ante, at 30.
That means if minority citizens vote mainly for one party
and majority citizens vote mainly for another, none of that
difference can count toward meeting the second and third
preconditions. So in offering evidence of polarized voting
preferences, a plaintiff must remove from the equation . . .
polarized voting preferences. For in most places (even if not
in Harlem), partisan difference is the way those divergent
preferences are expressed—and the way one racial group’s
vote can swamp another’s, again and again. The majority
argues that its new requirement is needed to rule out the
possibility that the State districted as it did for partisan,
rather than racial, reasons. See ibid. But the State’s intent
is not what is supposed to matter in a Section 2 suit. [Kagan]
