Alabama on Friday filed an emergency appeal at the Supreme Court asking the high court to allow it to throw out its current rigged congressional map.
Alabama’s request to toss out its racist, gerrymandered congressional map comes after the Supreme Court last month declared Louisiana’s newly-drawn Congressional map an unconstitutional gerrymander.
The case, State of Louisiana v. Phillip Callais (and the related Press Robinson v. Phillip Callais), stems from Louisiana’s woke lawmakers caving to left-wing judges and creating a second “majority-minority” congressional district.
Louisiana delayed its May 16 House primaries last Thursday after the Supreme Court’s blockbuster ruling.
Alabama petitioned the Supreme Court on Friday amid the gerrymander wars.
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas ordered a response by Monday evening.
BOOM! Alabama just went straight to the US Supreme Court demanding they THROW OUT the current rigged Congressional map packed with 2 racially gerrymandered Dem seats!
Justice Clarence Thomas just ordered a response by 5PM Monday!

CNN reported:
Alabama filed an emergency appeal at the US Supreme Court on Friday asking the justices to allow the state to revert to a congressional map with one majority-Black district, setting up a potentially thorny question for the high court as the justices have openly sparred over whether partisanship has played a role in its redistricting decisions.
State officials rushed up to the court late Friday asking it to halt a lower court ruling that has blocked it from using a map it enacted in 2023. It did so based on a blockbuster decision last week on Louisiana’s congressional map that severely weakened the scope of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The appeal, which is seeking an answer by May 14, came hours after Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed legislation allowing for new US House primaries if courts allow the state to use different congressional districts in this year’s elections.
“Alabama’s case mirrors Louisiana’s, and they should end the same way: with this year’s elections run with districts based on lawful policy goals, not race,” the state told the Supreme Court in its emergency appeal.
On Thursday, Tennessee became the ninth state to approve a new congressional map amid the redistricting wars.
Tennessee’s Republican-led House passed the new map that eliminates the state’s only majority-black district in Memphis.
Shortly thereafter, the State Senate passed the congressional map.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed the new map into law.
