in a lawsuit say its impacts are unambiguously personal -- and unconstitutional.
An aerial view of the part of North Carolina A&T University that is divided by the boundary line between Congressional Districts 6 and 13 in Greensboro, N.C., March 13, 2019. Chief Justice John Roberts poses for the official group photo at the US Supreme Court in Washington, Nov. 30, 2018. Republicans who brought the Maryland case say a Democratic-led redrawing of one long-reliably GOP congressional district -- turning it in favor of Democrats -- violated their First Amendment right to association by diluting their votes and depressing participation in the political process.
Lawmakers who draft district boundaries for electoral advantage typically try to "pack" like-minded voters into concentrated districts and "crack" other pockets of like-minded voters into separate districts to minimize influence in the voting pool. North Carolina argues that there is no constitutional rule against gerrymandering and weak evidence that individual voters are harmed by it.

A state issue that SCOTUS shouldn’t be involved in at all
Sounds like 'jury tampering'.
you mean like they way Jim Clyburn’s district is drawn?
Sadly, we can’t expect a favorable ruling from this wrongfully seated court. Republicans can’t win without gerrymandering.
DO SOMETHING CONGRESS! nomoretrumpingbullys
The laaaaaand of the gerrymandered and home of the soulless politicians
This is such a huge deal and it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. If you want to end political extremism, polarization, and pandering to a base, you end gerrymandering.
Important case. A free and representative government cannot survive with gerrymandering.
End Gerrymandering

Supreme Court won’t hear appeal from company resisting Mueller subpoenaThe foreign-owned corporation faces daily fines for not cooperating with grand jury. I don't get this either. Although I always knew nothing would be done to Trump. The US President is above the law while in office, so folks, elections matter a hell of lot more than you think. Unless he actually commits treason, he is safe from all till he is out. Something seems fishy...if there is still an ongoing legal battle about this, how can the MuellerReport be complete? A day late, a dollar short, no?

Supreme Court to Deliberate Fate of Partisan Gerrymandering—AgainA case of North Carolina’s district lines drawn by Republicans, along with a case from Maryland where Democratic map makers have been under fire, finally could prompt the justices either to impose nationwide limits on partisan redistricting—or remove the federal courts entirely as a referee. Surely hope so. Should the UN start monitoring the North Carolina election process. They’re as bad as a North Korean sham Presidential election. NOW---WE WILL SEE--If all this fighting and political dirty tricks by the 'ReTHUGlicans' to get 'THEIR GOOD OLE BOYS' on the SC will pay off!!! IF this court fails to uphold voter rights/OR passes it back to the states!!!---THEY WIN!! USA LOSES!!
