There's no sugar-coating it: It's been a really bad last few weeks for the Democrats ever since House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed to use "maximum warfare" against Republicans in the redistricting battle:

Heh heh heh heh heh ... Five & Dime Obama is such a limp noodle! Jeffries doesn't even have the wherewithal to free himself from a wet paper bag. What an impotent, ignorant douchebag.
Ever since then it's been loss after loss for the Democrats on the redistricting front.
Today the Supreme Court dealt the Dems yet another L:
The Associated Press (@AP) ~ BREAKING: The Supreme Court lifts the mandate for Alabama to use a U.S. House map with two majority-Black districts.

Do you think the Democrats might be wishing they wouldn't have ever started this battle?
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday set the stage for Alabama to get rid of one of two largely Black congressional districts before this year’s midterm elections, creating an opening for Republicans to gain an additional U.S. House seat in a partisan battle for control of the closely divided chamber.
The decision follows a Supreme Court ruling in April that struck down a majority-Black U.S. House district in Louisiana as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, significantly weakening a provision of the federal Voting Rights Act.
Alabama officials had pointed to the Louisiana case as reason for the Supreme Court to end a judicial order to use a court-imposed House map until after the 2030 census. The high court overturned that order and directed a lower court to reconsider the case in light of the Louisiana decision. That could free the state to instead use a map approved in 2023 by the Republican-led legislature that includes only one district where Black residents comprise a majority.
Yep, keep it up, Dems, these fights are going just great in court ... for the Republicans.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ I’ve lost track of how many Democrat lawsuits have backfired at this point. Has anyone done more damage to Democrats than their own left-wing lawfare proponents like Marc Elias?

Maybe the Democrats should just retreat for a while, because things aren't going well.
MJ (@futuredci) ~ Maybe someone on their side can sue Marc Elias to get him to stop doing existential damage to their cause?
You'd think the Left might consider that, but instead the Dems are blaming SCOTUS and not considering the fact that perhaps they're bringing bad legal cases:

It does tend to be fairly entertaining. They're getting beaten badly at their own game and can't stand it.
