In a huge blow to the Left, the Supreme Court rejected a lower court’s redrawn Texas electoral map. After a lawsuit filed by Progressives, federal district court judges threw out the map drawn by the Texas legislature. They then drew up one of their own, which is now invalid.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in a Texas political dispute, rejecting judge-drawn election maps favoring minority candidates and Democrats in the 2012 congressional and state legislature elections.
In its first ruling on political boundary-drawing based on the 2010 U.S. Census, the high court unanimously set aside the interim maps created by federal district court judges in San Antonio.
The high court said it was unclear whether the judges in Texas followed the appropriate standards and sent the cases back for further proceedings.
This was a case of judicial activism. Crap like this needs to stop.
