and I fear that even more re-redistricting will be on the way, perhaps even later in the year if the Supreme Court waters down or kills Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in the Callais case.

All the Republican-appointed Justices are letting Texas engage in re-redistricting, at least for the 2026 elections, and all the Democratic appointed Justices reached a contrary conclusion.

To average Americans these rulings come out of the blue, because there's no oral argument and less focus on the shadow docket. And when the Court fails to explain its emergency rulings, they undermine their own legitimacy because they appear to be acting in an unprincipled way.
