Anniversary of U.S. Supreme Court Rucho Fair Redistricting Maps Decision
About this event
The consolidated Rucho fair redistricting maps case was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 27, 2019.
Note the dissenting opinion by Justices Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, and Sonia Sotomayor, which was critical of the majority decision: "Of all times to abandon the Court's duty to declare the law, this was not the one. The practices challenged in these cases imperil our system of government. Part of the Court's role in that system is to defend its foundations. None is more important than free and fair elections. With respect but deep sadness, I dissent."
