A green light for election corruption.
Partisan gerrymandering is A-OK, ruled the Supreme Court today. Or to interpret the ruling more charitably, the Supreme Court has decided that it's a matter for the states to decide.
By a 5 to 4 vote, in a decision by Justice Roberts, the Supreme Court today said it cannot decide the question of partisan gerrymandering in federal courts.
SCOTUS will not strike down the gerrymandering in North Carolina and Maryland.
Read Kagan's dissent.
Kagan dissent in partisan gerrymandering: "For the first time ever, this Court refuses to remedy a constitutional violation because it thinks the task beyond judicial capabilities." https://t.co/WxGfOuQ2x9 pic.twitter.com/QgCK9ZiWEM
