| Video Discription | When Maryland state officials redrew the map for their state’s federal congressional districts in 2011, they were accused of engaging in partisan gerrymandering as a way of retaliating against the First Amendment activities of voters in Western Maryland. Now that this controversy has become before the Court a second time, how will the Supreme Court deal with partisan gerrymandering? Walter Olson of the Cato Institute explores the history of partisan gerrymandering and the theory of First Amendment retaliation in Lamone v. Benisek. Oral argument is March 26, 2019. JUDGMENT: June 27, 2019. Vacated and remanded, 5-4, in an opinion by Chief Justice Roberts. Justice Kagan filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor joined. HOLDING: Partisan gerrymandering claims present political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts. ******* As always, the Federalist Society takes no particular legal or public policy positions.
