I don't know whether its a trend, just the luck of the draw, or that the legal issues are so elementary, but here's another legal ruling is incredibly clear and easy to grasp... at least the introduction.
Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every act of remembrance is political.
