And like the Alabama ruling, it doesn't explain why the court nevertheless had issued emergency relief to allow Louisiana to use its unlawful maps during the 2022 midterm cycle," Vladeck added. "It puts the court's interventions last year into ever-sharper perspective.

This stands out to me as the question begging for an answer. Surely the Supreme Court will explain itself, right? Right.

There were so many local elections that I would deem to be entirely illegitimate because of how bad the gerrymandering was. I think our country needs a look back at politicians and judges who should be removed from office due to only having been elected or appointed due to illegal activity to begin with.
