    Wednesday's civil rights "victory" at SCOTUS comes with caveats

    A Louisiana congressional map with two majority-Black districts will be used in 2024. The SCOTUS conservatives, however, used reasoning urged by state's Republican leaders.

  Yes, this appears odd at first glance. Based largely on Jackson's dissent, this happened bc of (1) the majority's decision to invoke Purcell & (2) the dissent's concern about that and view of whether the district court should have been allowed to issue its remedial map in June.
