On January 29, the Republican members from Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation asked the U.S. Supreme Court to let them file an amicus curiae brief in the partisan gerrymandering case. The members want the U.S. Supreme Court to issue a stay of the State Supreme Court’s order that requires a quick redrawing of the U.S. House district boundaries. The amicus will be paid for by the National Republican Congressional Committee. The other side in this case has not consented to the filing of this amicus brief, so it is up to the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether to allow the filing.
The Pennsylvania Republican Party also is filing this amicus brief.
