GREG ABBOTT, ET AL. v. LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS, ET AL.
“Texas is likely to succeed on the merits of its claim that the District Court committed at least two serious errors. First, the District Court failed to honor the presumption of legislative good faith by construing ambiguous direct and circumstantial evidence against the legislature.. Second, the District Court failed to draw a dispositive or near dispositive adverse inference against respondents even though they did not produce a viable alternative map that met the State’s avowedly partisan goals.”
Assume the Texas legislature operated in “good faith”? Who are they kidding?
“Produce a viable alternative map that met the State’s avowedly partisan goal?” Probably because it was impossible.
