Subject: important clarification on redistricting case

IMPORTANT UPDATE AND CLARIFICATION: Apparently, the Texas redistricting appeal here was only on the question of Section 5 preclearance, and NOT on the partisan gerrymandering claim. If that is indeed correct, my analysis in the next (now bracketed) paragraph is incorrect (except the part that we may see an opinion this week in the Pennsylvania case.) Thanks to two readers for writing quickly to let me correct my error.
