Lyle is
now
reporting that the Court "found the state's new District
23 invalid under the federal Voting
Rights Act. District 24 was upheld against a Voting Rights Act
challenge."

See this
early report
from Lyle Denniston, who says the Court did not conclude whether these
cases are non-justiciable. He also says the court rejected a challenge
to mid-decade redistricting. If Monday is any guide, it may be up to an
hour before the opinion actually becomes available in electronic form
to read. As soon as I have a link, I'll post it, and analysis will
follow once I've had a chance to read the set of opinions.
