WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to Democrats in this year’s elections, rejecting a last-ditch plea from state Republicans and the Trump administration.

No justices dissented from the brief order denying the appeal without explanation, which is common on the court’s emergency docket.

If you think the Supreme Court needs a specific law to rule on something, you’ve sadly ignored much history of Supreme Court decisions. A large percentage of their work is handwavey opinions based on biased interpretations of obscure and irrelevant documents.

Yes, it’s supposed to work the way you described it, but it hasn’t for some time now.

Ok but we don’t like the Supreme Court decisions that are made up and not based in law or logic

They also obviously couldn’t have given who sits on it

What you’re really asking for is a united progressive Democratic Party that passes actual legislation ensuring fair elections
