Supreme Court allows severe partisan gerrymandering to continue
#3
I was following along on SCOTUSBlog for this and the impression they got is that the opinion of the majority is the the judiciary should not get involved in this because it would embroil the courts in politics, which is not its place. Therefore, the courts do not have jurisdiction.

However, what this means is that this ruling could be used if a racial gerrymandering case comes up since racial gerrymandering could reasonably be argued is about the politics.

In the end, I understand the ruling, but disagree with it.
