Justices Punt on Gerrymandering, But Coach Kagan Has a Plan
'The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday kept the much-watched partisan gerrymandering case alive – in a most unusual way. '
'But it wasn’t a disaster, because the court didn’t say their partisan gerrymandering claims had no merit, either. '
'Kagan may even have hinted that Kennedy’s Citizens United decision should lead him to strike down partisan gerrymandering as a First Amendment violation. '
'For any of that to happen, the gerrymandering case has to come back to the court before Kennedy retires. '
'This First Amendment theory is Kennedy’s, Kagan helpfully explained, taken from his concurrence in a case called Vieth v. '
