🚨🚨🚨 North Carolina Supreme Court: racially gerrymandered North Carolina General Assembly, as an unconstitutionally constituted legislature, did not have the power to propose amendments to the North Carolina Constitution. https://appellate.nccourts.org/opinions/?c=1&

For the North Carolina Supreme Court, it isn't the case that the legislature was inherently unable to act but the margins of proposed amendments were such as to suggest the proposals may not have passed but for legislators representing unconstitutionally gerrymandered districts.

Sounds like the court recognizes that the districts are gerrymandered in an unconstitutional manner, so whatever the legislators come up with that encourages discrimination or segregation is unconstitutional.

However, judges are allowing states that have been gerrymandered to proceed with one freebie election?
