NY’s Highest Court Strikes Down Democrat Redistricting
27 Apr 2022
CLAY: I wanted to hit you with a little bit of breaking news. The New York Court of Appeals — that is the state’s highest court. It’s a little bit confusing sometimes in New York ’cause the Supreme Court is the lowest court. They have said that the congressional and state senate maps drawn by Democrats that would have overwhelmingly benefited Democrats in the state of New York, Buck Sexton’s home state, is not constitutional. They have struck it down. So, this a big deal because I believe, Buck — you may know better than me — was it four seats that they were adding to the Democratic tally, I think, based on redistricting?
BUCK: It was a handful. I’d have to go back and check the exact number. But now they’ll have a special — I’m trying to think of the —
CLAY: Committee, for lack of better term?
BUCK: Essentially, yeah. There’s a term they use for it that will draw the district. This is going to be better for the GOP districts. I mean, this is definitely gonna be an improvement.
CLAY: So that story just breaking. And again, all of the judges who struck down this group of districts that have been redistricting that have occurred are Democratic appointees. So that is a pretty significant detail there. Also —
BUCK: I thought it was “special master” for redistricting, but I actually gonna tell you, I caught myself for a second because, you know, you’re not allowed to say master bedroom anymore right?
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: And you’re not allowed to say headmaster of school but the court for now although maybe this is gonna change for now, the court for now can still have a special master for redistricting. I actually hesitated because I was like, “It can’t be that,” oh, I guess it still is.
CLAY: “Master’s degree” is gonna be on the chopping block soon, and if you guys are out there saying, “What in the world are you talking about?” the connection to slavery is too overwhelming such that they’re trying to remove the “master” use of the word. It’s absolutely insane.
