Reargument of Louisiana v Callais at the U.S. Supreme Court Timelines: Redistricting 2022

For the reargument, the justices asked parties to provide supplemental briefing on the narrower question of whether Louisiana’s intentional creation of a second majority-minority congressional district violated the 14th and 15th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. In weighing this question, the court will be forced to grapple with how decades of settled law applies to Louisiana’s map. The outcome of the case will not only impact Louisiana, but will also serve as a decisive inflection point in our nation’s commitment to protecting voting rights for communities nationwide.
