Oral arguments: The Court issued orders setting oral argument timing in the Vermont spending limits and Texas redistricting cases. More to come. UPDATE: At the Jenner and Block Texas Redistricting page, you can find the motions for divided argument along with the Supreme Court's order. The Court granted 40 minutes of argument time to Paul M. Smith, attorney for the Jackson appellants, and 20 minutes to Nina Perales, attorney for the GI Forum appellants. This will allow for the Court to hear about the partisan gerrymandering, one person, one vote, and Voting Rights Act claims.
