For the second straight year, the Supreme Court has an opportunity to establish limits on partisan gerrymandering — or go the other direction and send mapmakers an anything-goes message ahead of the 2020 census.
In North Carolina, Republicans explicitly sought to ensure the GOP would control 10 of the state’s 13 House districts. In Maryland, Democrats openly targeted a long-time Republican congressman, altering the lines of his district to defeat him and give Democrats a 7-1 advantage in the state., the Supreme Court declined an earlier chance to strike down Maryland’s congressional map or dictate firm guidelines about how far is too far when it comes to partisan gerrymandering.
“There are many plausible ways that the court could create a test and police those partisan gerrymanders,” said Rick Hasen, a law professor at the University of California-Irvine who also runs the popular. “The bigger question is whether there’s the will among five justices to do that.”

Doubt it with this SCOTUS
And this is why the Supreme Court no longer serves the purpose it was intended for, it's become a partisan joke thanks to republicans. We should not know the outcome of a case before it's been heard.
All three branches of America are corrupt and are moving further away from democracy.
redistricting should be truly bipartisan, the reason that the extremes have risen is because of the hyper safe districts that comes with partisan districts!
This is likely naive - but I hold out hope that Roberts' conscience won't let him sell democracy down the river when push comes to shove.
dinjup27 In what world could the SCOTUS rule in favor of gerrymandering?
Shame to be honest. Gerrymandering is a real problem that both parties should be concerned about

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?
