The Supreme Court cleared the way for Texas to redraw its congressional maps to add probable Republican seats.

The lower court had ruled that the map was unconstitutional because it discriminates on the basis of race.

The White House has been pushing national efforts to change districts in favor of Republicans as Republicans face serious headwinds heading up to the midterms in November.

Are Democrats in big trouble because of what

they're seeing come out of the Supreme Court? In this case with Texas, when you have other states,

including Indiana, who's right now looking at redistricting, trying to push the chances for a Democrat

to be put in office to the side. Well, you know, right now the count looks like it's going to be up for Republicans,

Republicans is going to hand themselves more seats in an unprecedented kind of mid-decade realignment.

But that's not the worst. I mean, that's bad for Democrats.

What's happening is actually bad for America.

It used to be if you wanted to figure out what will the Supreme Court do?

You'd say what does the case law say?

What is the legal precedent?

What does the precedent say?

Now is what does the president say?

What does Trump say?

You're in a different country when the Supreme Court is basically just straining itself to do whatever the president says, not what the president says.

It's bad for Democrats, it's bad for the country.

I can tell you this as well, John, I know a lot of the people who are in the West Wing, a lot of them worked on the president's campaign.

They are political bloodhounds.

And this idea of redrawing the congressional maps in Texas,

but also across the country, is core to their strategy of trying to be successful in next year's elections.
