BREAKING: SCOTUS blocks New York state court redistricting order, over the strong dissent of the Democratic appointees.

Here's the order: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25a914_1p24.pdf

OK, so, a huge problem with this is the irresponsible majority, which did not explain its reasoning. They are left with a one-justice concurrence from Alito justifying this action, and it is aggressively acerbic, even for Alito.

This is different from the TX and CA cases, which were challenges to mid-decade redistricting.

This was a NY state court ruling that a congressional map needed to be altered. It raises different questions about the propriety of the court intervening, especially on the shadow docket.

1. Ok so they are straying from their precedent that the states cna decide their own redistricting.

Good grief!
