Another Unanimous Supreme Court Decision

Another Unanimous Supreme Court Decision

These federal judges had decided to use their judicial authority to invent an electoral map that would assure a more democrat government in Texas. Chief Justice John Roberts has crafted a second unanimous repudiation of overreaching government in a week.

Just in case you missed the first of the two unanimous decisions, a nice overview of that one is here.
