BREAKING: Supreme Court Hands Texas Republicans HUGE WIN In 6-3 Decision Upholding New District Map!

[Conservative Angle]

​

We just scored another huge win from the Supreme Court!

And it was another 6-3 decision like most all have been this year. I’ll take it!

The redrawn Texas districting maps were challenged in Court and that challenge rose to the Supreme Court, and today those maps were confirmed legally valid!

The takeaway?

This should almost certainly result in FIVE more seats for Republicans in the House from Texas alone!

MAJOR BREAKING — MASSIVE WIN AT SCOTUS: The Supreme Court has UPHELD Texas’s new U.S. House maps which are set to go into effect for 2026, 6-3

NBC News had more details:

The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Texas to use a new congressional district map in next year’s midterm elections that was drawn to maximize Republican political power.

Granting an emergency application filed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, the conservative majority paused a lower court ruling that said the map was unlawful because Republican lawmakers, at the direction of the Trump administration, explicitly considered race when drawing new districts.

The unsigned order said that Texas is “likely to succeed on the merits of its claim,” including that the lower court “failed to honor the presumption of legislative good faith” when assessing the state Legislature’s motives.

The ruling appeared to be 6-3, with the three liberal justices dissenting.

Justice Elena Kagan wrote in dissent that the decision “disrespects the work of a district court that did everything one could ask” and also “disserves the millions of Texans whom the district court found were assigned to their new districts based on their race.”

The map was drawn with the aim of adding up to five additional Republican House seats, which no one contests, but the lower court found that the map was drawn with the aim of moving certain minority voters into different districts.

In a separate concurring opinion pushing back on Kagan, conservative Justice Samuel Alito said that the plaintiffs challenging the map needed to do a better job of showing that race was the motivating factor by, among other things, producing their own map that would show the state’s partisan goals could be achieved by other means.

The failure to do so gave rise to “a strong inference that the state’s map was indeed based on partisanship, not race,” he wrote.

The decision marks a win for President Donald Trump, who filed a brief urging the court to rule in favor of Texas.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who defended the map, welcomed the decision.

“This map reflects the political climate of our state and is a massive win for Texas and every conservative who is tired of watching the left try to upend the political system with bogus lawsuits,” he said in a statement.

Gov. Greg Abbott took a victory lap on X to celebrate the ruling:

We won! Texas is officially—and legally—more red.

The Supreme Court restored the congressional redistricting maps passed by Texas that add 5 more Republican seats.

The new maps better align our representation in D.C. with the values of Texas.
