Super considerate of the Mets to let me work instead of having to watch the last four innings of tonight's game.

#SCOTUS may not be directly responsible for what's happening right now in Texas.
But the Court's 5-4 2019 ruling in Rucho necessarily cleared the way for legislatures in at least some states to race to the bottom when it comes to maximizing partisan political advantage.
Me, in today's "One First":

The Supreme Court isn't responsible for partisan gerrymandering. But current events in Texas underscore how much its 2019 ruling in Rucho has left (some) states free to radically abuse the practice.

From @ngertner.bsky.social & me in @nytimes.com: "Ms. Bondi wrote that Judge Boasberg’s comments 'have undermined the integrity of the judiciary . . . .' No. The way to look at this is the inverse: Her Justice Department is attempting to undermine the integrity of the judiciary and the rule of law."

As the piece notes, the House passed such a bill in 2022, only to have it fail to overcome a cloture vote in the Senate.
Congress unquestionably has the constitutional authority. The issue is finding 60 votes in the Senate...
