On October 29, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Turzai v Brandt, 17-1700. This was the case in which Republican legislative leaders in Pennsylvania had tried to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to undo the State Supreme Court’s redrawing of the U.S. House districts. The Republican legislative leaders had filed the cert petition on June 21, and it had been on the October 26 conference. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
It would have been quite amazing if the US Supreme Court had overturned a state Supreme Court on a redistricting issue like this one. It would have opened up a can of worms on state sovereignty in general.
