Justice Elena Kagan wrote that the majority's decision was "tragically wrong" in her dissenting opinion.
A.G. Holder's thoughts? "Let me give you a really concise legal analysis here. The Supreme Court blew it. Period, full stop."
And in reaction to the ruling, President Obama said: "We have a broken system that allows politicians to manipulate districts that prioritize their party's political power above all else." |
| Two years ago this week, the Supreme Court ruled against putting federal guardrails on partisan gerrymandering in Rucho v. Common Cause -- signaling to map manipulators that SCOTUS will not stop them from partisan gerrymandering. |
"That ruling can't stop citizens from doing what it takes to protect our democracy and ensure that the rules of the road are fair. At the end of the day, it's up to us."
-- President Obama |
