COMMON CAUSE FLORIDA et al v. BYRD et al, 4:22-cv-00109, No. 234 (N.D.Fla. Jun. 11, 2024)
Motion for RehearingDenied
“Rule 59(e) permits a court to alter or amend a judgment, but it ‘may not be used to relitigate old matters, or to raise arguments or present evidence that could have been raised prior to the entry of judgment.’” Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker, 554 U.S. 471, 486 n.5 (2008) (quoting 11 C. Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 2810.1 at 127-28 (2d ed. 1995)).
“The only grounds for granting a Rule 59 motion are newly discovered evidence or manifest errors of law or fact.” MacPhee v. MiMedx Group, Inc., 73 F.4th 1220, 1250 (11th Cir. 2023) (cleaned up).
Our unanimous conclusion was straightforward: Even if we assumed for argument’s sake that the Governor acted with impermissible racial animus, the Legislature that enacted the challenged map did not.
But he did not enact the map alone, and as we noted earlier, “one official may support a particular piece of legislation for a blatantly unconstitutional reason, while another may support the same legislation for perfectly legitimate reasons.” ECF No. 222 at 55 (quoting Matthews v. Columbia County, 294 F.3d 1294, 1298 (11th Cir. 2002) (cleaned up)).
Third, Plaintiffs argue that “there was no reason to accuse any legislator of racial animus” because but for the Governor’s veto, the Legislature’s earlier proposed map would have become law.

COMMON CAUSE FLORIDA et al v. BYRD et al, 4:22-cv-00109, No. 222 (N.D.Fla. Mar. 27, 2024)
The term nonetheless remains ill-defined.
The Republican-controlled Senate nonetheless passed the two-map plan proposed by the House on the same day as the Governor’s latest opposition statement.
In the most recent election cycle, none of the newly formed districts in North Florida elected Black voters’ candidates of choice.
For instance, as to the Governor’s contention that Map 8019 no longer performed for Black voters, Dr. Barreto pointed out that four state districts fell below 35% BVAP and were nonetheless listed as “FDA-compliant by the State of ...
An official can justify a challenged action any number of ways—all pretextual—but nonetheless harbor no underlying discriminatory purpose.
They acknowledge that none of those comprised a majority of minority voters, and the exhibit they rely on, see id., shows that none of the referenced districts was “geographically compact.” 15 Case 4:22-cv-00109-AW-MAF Document ...

Department of Commerce, et al., Petitioners v. New York, et al., 18-966, Adjudged to be AFFIRMED IN PART REVERSED (U.S. Jun. 27, 2019)
The Bureau nonetheless recommended using administrative records alone because it had “high confidence” that it could develop an accurate model for estimating the citizenship of the 35 million people for whom administrative records ...
... the District Court that the Secretary technically violated §141(f ) by submit- ting a paragraph (2) report that doubled as a paragraph (3) report, the error would surely be harmless in these circumstances, where the Secretary nonetheless ...
None instructs the Court to inquire into pretext.
None of this comes close to showing bad faith or improper behavior.
None of the evidence cited by the Court or the District Court comes close to showing that the Secretary’s stated rationale—that adding a citi- zenship question to the 2020 census questionnaire would “provide . . . data that are not currently ...
In any event, none of this suggests, much less proves, that the Secretary harbored an unstated belief that adding the citizenship question would not help en- force the VRA, or that the VRA rationale otherwise did not factor at all into his ...
But as far as I can tell (or as far as the arguments made here and in the District Court inform the matter), none of these latter submissions significantly added to, or detracted from, the Census Bureau’s submissions in respect to the ...
None were reviewed by the courts.

Article II Grants the President Authority to Control the Operations of Executive Branch Agencies, Including Access to the Payment Systems of the Bureau of Fiscal Services.
“Liberty is always at stake when one or more of the branches seek to transgress the separation of powers.” Clinton v. City of New York, 524 U.S. 417, 450 (1998) (Kennedy, J., concurring); see also Bowsher v. Synar, 478 U.S. 714, 730 (1986) (“The Framers recognized that, in the long term, structural protections against abuse of power were critical to preserving liberty.”).
The Court also found that there was no subject matter jurisdiction because directly affected potential plaintiffs had alternative means of seeking relief through the administrative process.
Public reporting indicates that, just days after the 2024 Election, Democrat Attorneys General (many of whom are Plaintiffs here) had already entered into a confidential agreement to challenge anticipated actions of the forthcoming Trump Administration.
