Bit of a bad title: they didn't disapprove of the map, rather they just refused to disagree with it. The supreme court refused to block a lower court's order to have the maps redrawn immediately. Yes, meaning they refused to disagree with it. The court rejecting a case doesn't automatically mean they agree with the prior result. So you think SCOTUS will be okay with it if they redraw the map to look exactly like it was before? More than likely they won't, but them refusing to take a case shouldn't be treated as precedent. It will be up to the PA Supreme Court to deal with that, since they're the highest court to actually rule on the case. the supreme court didn't make a ruling so there is no precedent, they denied an application to block the order to redraw the districts. That means the districts must be redrawn in accordance with the lower court's decision. This does mean they agree with the lower court's decision to redraw the districts, they just aren't setting a policy on how they are to be redrawn. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:895523050] in SCOTUS rul...
