[EL] Breaking: Supreme Court, on 5-4 vote, holds partisan gerrymandering cases nonjusticiable

Thu Jun 27 08:22:16 PDT 2019

Not quite the final line, Trevor. That line’s followed by a list of pending federal bills to rein in partisan gerrymandering, which is then followed by the sentence:

“We express no view on any of these pending proposals. We simply note that the avenue for reform established by the Framers, and used by Congress in the past, remains open.”

Final line of the Opinion...

The Framers also gave Congress the power to do something about partisan gerrymandering in the Elections Clause. That avenue for reform established by the Framers, and used by Congress in the past, remains open. Pp. 30–34.
