52. This decision says they can Redistrict WHENEVER
that's terrible. the ONLY part I see invalidated was the segment where it violated hispanic rights in one district. So if it impacts a minorities voting rights then it violates the voting rights act.
However, if the new party in power wants to redraw it 10 times a week for any other reason they are now free to. Voters beware. This is a nightmarish standard. The only hope now is that the voters of each state will magically step in and modify state constitutions to expressly limit the time and means of redistricting.
What's even more scary is the Scalia opinion...but then isn't it always.
