      We're still waiting on at least on more decision, and, per normal practice, it also would be a decision from the Chief Justice (but, they've gone out of order a couple times this term, when one decision should be released first).

      Final decision of the day is the Maryland partisan gerrymandering case. The court, in a per curiam decision, found the challengers did not meet the standards for #SCOTUS to reverse the district ct decision against issuing a preliminary injunction. They did not rule on the merits.

      In short, #SCOTUS punted in both cases on the merits issues of whether partisan gerrymandering claims can be made and, if so, what standards courts should use in evaluating them.

      ACLU's @dale_e_ho on today —> "The Supreme Court missed an opportunity today to lay down a firm marker as to when partisan gerrymandering is so extreme that it violates the constitutional rights of voters. But the court permitted lawsuits against unfair maps to continue."
