In terms of when Louisiana will redraw its map, which was at the center of the case, the state’s attorney general, Liz Murrill, is deferring to the legislature. But she said that she believed it to be possible for the legislature to act and pass a new congressional map before the November midterm elections. She said she, like many others, was surprised that the court’s opinion came at the end of April, rather than in June toward the end of its term. “We’re grateful to have it now,” she said, noting that decisions on Louisiana’s voting map now needed to be made “very quickly.” · April 29, 2026, 1:26 p.m. ET ...

3 days ago - One day later, Louisiana told the court that it would indeed postpone the state’s primary elections for Congress, which had been scheduled for May 16. In the view of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, a Republican, the use of the 2024 map would constitute the kind of emergency that justifies a postponement under Louisiana law, because “electing members to Congress under an unconstitutional map flies in the face of the United States Constitution and subjects Louisiana voters to representatives that are impermissibly elected as determined by the United States Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision.” · In her four-page dissent, Jackson suggested that the court itself was taking sides in the battle over redistricting. She wrote that developments in the wake of last week’s ruling in Callais “have a strong political undercurrent.” Louisiana’s effort to redistrict, she said, “unfolds in the midst of an ongoing statewide election, against the backdrop of a pitched redistricting battle among state governmen

3 days ago - The U.S. Supreme Court has now entered the final stretch of its 2025–2026 term. The oral arguments have all been heard, and the merits cases have all been submitted.

John Lewis witnessed the signing – and the first steps in the dismantling – of the Voting Rights Act. As the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling today is analyzed and assessed, I’m thinking back to the morning 13 years ago as I stood alongside Lewis as he watched the court effectively strike down the heart of the Voting Rights Act in the landmark Shelby case. Lewis, who died in 2020, was among the last living leaders of the civil rights movement. As a young man, he was on hand when President ...

On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court often rules without public hearings and with limited briefing. It often takes years before the Court hears these cases in full, if at all.6 By the time it does, in many cases the damage wrought by its shadow docket decisions will be irreparable — the Trump administration will have already dismantled entire government agencies and wrongfully deported individuals to countries where they will face serious danger.7 · Shadow docket rulings often include no explanation or vote counts.8 By not explaining itself, the Court abdicates a principal expectation of judicial bodies: that they disclose their rationales.9 As Justice Kagan plainly put it, “Courts are supposed to explain things.”10 It’s an essential protection against arbitrary power and an important way to ensure that like cases are treated alike. Lower court judges have expressed frustration over the lack of transparency, and they are often unsure how to follow new legal standards with no guidanc

1 week ago - Edward Greim, who represented the plaintiffs in the Louisiana case, lauded the decision, telling St. Louis Public Radio that it moves the country closer to a "colorblind society." "There's going to be districts out there that are, I would say, fake Voting Rights Act districts that really shouldn't have been drawn, those will be challenged," he said. Long considered the jewel in the crown of the Civil Rights Movement, the Voting Rights Act has been largely dismembered since 2013 by the increasingly conservative Supreme Court led by Chief Justice John Roberts. The major exception was a decision just two years ago that upheld the court's past rulings on Section 2 in a redistricting case out of Alabama. At issue in the Louisiana case was the map drawn by the Republican-led legislature after the decennial census. Following years of litigation, the state, with a 30% Black population, first fought and then agreed to draw a second majority-Black district.
