Supreme Court to Block Newsom's Gerrymander
The article discusses a legal challenge to California's new congressional map, which was drawn with explicit racial motivations during the redistricting process. A federal three-judge panel in Los Angeles is examining whether the map violates the 15th Amendment, which prohibits assigning legislative power based on race. The case arises after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down similar racial gerrymandering in Louisiana, emphasizing that race cannot be a factor in district drawing unless addressing specific Voting Rights Act violations. The article highlights California's history of racial voting restrictions and argues that racial intent in redistricting is unconstitutional.
