The Supreme Court on Wednesday denied a civil rights group’s motion to recall the Louisiana redistricting judgment.
The Supreme Court last month declared Louisiana’s newly-drawn Congressional map an unconstitutional gerrymander.
The high court issued the ruling 6-3.
Liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.
The case, State of Louisiana v. Phillip Callais (and the related Press Robinson v. Phillip Callais), stems from Louisiana’s woke lawmakers caving to left-wing judges and creating a second “majority-minority” congressional district.
Louisiana delayed its May 16 House primaries last Thursday after the Supreme Court’s blockbuster ruling.
“Yesterday’s historic Supreme Court victory for Louisiana has an immediate consequence for the State. The Supreme Court previously stayed an injunction against the State’s enforcement of the current Congressional map,” Governor Landry said last month.
“By the Court’s order, however, that stay automatically terminated with yesterday’s decision. Accordingly, the State is currently enjoined from carrying out congressional elections under the current map. We are working together with the Legislature and the Secretary of State’s office to develop a path forward,” he said.
