    I will say that while I have little faith in SCOTUS, this map was originally thrown out by the SCOTUS decision upholding Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. It’s very unlikely they’d immediately allow the AL legislature to defy them so brazenly.

      Yeah, to show that AL can ignore them would show the country that they can be ignored. More likely they’ll follow their process then call for the justice department to charge them with treason so they can be brought before them and made an example of.
