The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that Alabama discriminated against black voters during its redistricting process last year, a decision that relied on the Voting Rights Act.

The ruling in Allen v. Milligan means that Alabama will have to redraw its congressional map to include a second majority-black district. The 5-4 decision was written by Chief Justice John Roberts and saw Justice Brett Kavanaugh join, marking an alliance between two conservatives and three liberals in the majority.

Do we need to redraw lines bases on LGBT or any other sub-sect?

While his nomination was controversial, Kavanaugh has shown he's not a partisan hack....

That's more than can be said for 6 others on the SC...
