The Left attempted to use personal attacks on a state supreme court justice in North Carolina as part of strategy in their last gasp litigation over redistricting plans. They failed. Doing what the Democrats failed to do when they were in control of decades of redistricting, the Republicans successfully passed redistricting plans for federal and state legislative office holders with no objection of racial discrimination or racial gerrymandering from either the Department of Justice or the Federal courts. As expected, the NAACP is not happy with increased representation by African-Americans because they care more about partisan Democrat party politics inside the state. And the most hurtful of racial accusations continue to be lodged against Republicans through the media and court pleadings.
The N.C. Supreme Court said Justice Paul Newby can consider a lawsuit challenging the way election districts are drawn.
The court has rejected a request from the state NAACP, Democrats and
others that Newby withdraw from the case, The News & Observer of
Raleigh reported.
N.C. NAACP president William Barber said the groups are disappointed with the decision.
