A portion of a controversial Texas congressional map was tossed out Tuesday by the Supreme Court, but the overall redistricting plan engineered by state Republicans was found to be proper.
The court nixed one small part for illegally diluting Latino votes. But they rejected the rest of the case.
This makes it legal to redistrict at any time, and that any degree of gerrymandering for political advantage is legal. I expect a flood gate of state redistricting, and a substantial weakening of the democratic process.
