Supreme Court taking GOP case on redistricting in Colorado



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Alito and Roberts have had a busy day:

The Supreme Court has revived an attempt by Colorado Republicans to block a congressional election map.

Justices on Tuesday gave Republicans a new chance to challenge boundaries drawn by a state judge in 2002. The judge handled the task because lawmakers could not agree on boundaries when the state received an additional congressional seat after the 2000 U.S. Census.

In an unsigned opinion, justices said that a lower court was wrong to prevent the lawsuit. Justice John Paul Stevens filed a dissent, saying that a ``spurious'' claim was properly dismissed by the lower court.
This could get really ugly.
