The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that North Carolina’s top court did not overstep its bounds in striking down a congressional districting plan as excessively partisan under state law.
The justices by a 6-3 vote rejected the broadest view of a case that could have transformed elections for Congress and president.
A surprise to be sure, but a super welcome one.
Alito and Thomas can pretty much just phone it in at this point. Whatever the worst position is, throw them there, and 95% of the time it’ll be how they would’ve voted.

Interestingly, it was also the Roberts/Barrett/Kavanaugh faction (+Gorsuch) that sided with the liberals in the Indian Child Welfare Act case. So there’s definitely a subset of the conservative justices that you can talk some sense into, if the argument is convincing enough.
Thank goodness!
