Honestly, doing this right after the relaxation of voting rights supervision was a little bit too obviously evil.

Maybe RBG took over where Scalia left off? :slight_smile:

Might be hope for some of these states yet.

Not much, but some.

Gorsuch sat this one out. So I guess we still don’t know what to expect from him.

You mean he was actually conscious?

Maybe he’ll just keep sitting these decisions out.

He’s even spoken a couple of times this last session! It’s like Scalia dying freed him up to have a point of view and opinion!

I think that this is just the decision, the hearing was back before Gorsuch was on the bench. He won’t be issuing rulings on that round of hearings, because he wasn’t part of the court then. He was just confirmed less than a month ago.

Bringing this back from the dead for another closely related gerrymandering case. It’s the WI ruling this time around being brought to SCOTUS.
