In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS rejected the notion that state legislatures have unlimited power to determine the rules for federal elections and draw partisan congressional maps without interference from state courts.

How much effect will this have on existing congressional maps and upcoming elections?

    Entirely possible, though it seems like he was twisting arms the last session to get his colleagues to slow down, and we all saw how that turned out. Something has shifted, and I’m not really sure what, but while the Court as a whole is decidedly right-wing, it’s more chastened than the triumphalist 2021-22 session.

      I have a suspicion that the court would have left Roe at least partially intact if the draft memo hadn’t leaked.
