More (?) from Judge Alito on One Person, One Vote
Via Campaign
for the Court and SCOTUSblog,
it appears that Sen. Grassley asked Judge Alito about his 1985 job
application's statement about the Warren Court's reapportionment
decisions. According to Campaign for the Court, "Alito reiterated that
he thought one-man, one-vote was a 'good principle' but that the court
had taken 'it to extremes' with its subsequent insistence that
districts be drawn in such a mathematically precise way as to allow
practically no variation whatsoever" At this point, we are not likely
to get any more on this issue from the hearings. I'm looking forward to
Sam Issachroff's testimony on this issue later in the week.
