## Resource

SCOTUS just delivered a massive victory for color-blind elections! In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court struck down Louisiana’s congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The state’s attempt to create a second majority-black district went too far by making race the predominant factor — and the conservative majority said enough is enough. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion, making it crystal clear: Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act cannot be used to force states into race-based discrimination that violates the Constitution. This landmark decision limits how heavily race can be used when drawing voting districts and opens the door for other states to redraw their maps without fear of activist courts demanding racial quotas. We also cover: Florida Democrat's FULL meltdown after new congressional map. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addresses “quagmire” comments. Vice President JD Vance's update on Minnesota fraud. Iran was elected VP of the 2026 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Pat & crew predict when the Iran war will end. If you believe in fair elections and rejecting racial division, this is a ruling worth celebrating. Drop a LIKE if you support the Supreme Court’s decision, COMMENT below with your thoughts on racial gerrymandering, and tell us which states should redraw their maps next! 00:00 Pat Gray UNLEASHED! 00:20 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 00:38 R.I.P.
