Supreme Court to weigh Texas redistricting
The last time the Court attacked this question, they couldn't answer it. I mean, they really couldn't. Under the political question doctrine, they said, in a political gerrymandering case about 5 years ago, Vieth v. Jubelirer, that the Court had no standards to apply. Justice Kennedy concurred in the decision but said if standards did emerge, the issue could be revisited. Looks like maybe it is. This should be interesting. Makes me want to take Con Law over again in the Spring semester, just to work the problem in class.
