The Supreme Court heard oral argument in the partisan gerrymandering case in December. We do not know when the Court will issue its decision (it could come as late as the end of the term in June), but here is what we do know.
It has decided some of the cases on its December calendar (and some
even on its January calendar), but Vieth and a four others
still remain from the December calendar. The Court is expected
to issue opinions tomorrow and Wednesday. Next Monday is the final
possibility before a recess. If not by Monday, the Court takes a recess
until April 19. See here.
