WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that North Carolina’s top court did not overstep its bounds in striking down a congressional districting plan as excessively partisan under state law.
The justices by a 6-3 vote rejected the broadest view of a case that could have transformed elections for Congress and president.
North Carolina Republicans had asked the court to leave state legislatures virtually unchecked by their state courts when dealing with federal elections.
The idea that the legislature does not have to submit to state court oversight is bizarre. Curious what the argument of the 3 dissenting votes were. Were they narrow and case specific or did they support supremacy of the legislature idea which is just nuts.
