On April 24, the U.S. Supreme Court heard Abbott v Perez, 17-586, the Texas racial gerrymandering case. This article describes the hearing, which mostly focused on procedure, and whether the Court even has jurisdiction. Battles over Texas redistricting have been going on in federal court since 2011.
UPDATE: here is the oral argument transcript.
To all math genius folks —
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged packed/cracked gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL = OLIGARCHY
NONSTOP since 1776 States — since 1789 USA
Much, much worse primary math — circa 5-15 percent by special interest looter gangs.
Much worse before 1964 SCOTUS gerrymander cases.
IT SHOWS — nonstop domestic tyranny laws (American Indians genocide, old slavery, new tax slavery, etc.) and nonstop undeclared foreign wars, nonstop INSANE annual govt deficits (esp. since 1929) and even more INSANE accumulated govt debts.
ONE entire ROTTED to the core system – inherited from gerrymanders in the English House of Commons in 1200s.
700 plus years of R-O-T — oligarch tyrant laws, death and destruction.

The problem is that district court judges don’t have to defend their actions or be subjection to deposition.
The reason the district court did not issue an injunction is that they didn’t want to have their decision appealed. They hoped that if the State participated in drawing a new map it would be considered an admission of wrongdoing.

Comments about the argument hearing.
New Age lower court MORONS need some SCOTUS pre-law school education on lower court orders, injunctions, *final* judgments [in ALL cases] ??? Duh.
NO surprise if SCOTUS dumps the case back ???
— esp with other gerrymander cases to be decided (NOT having the Texas chaos / lunatic machinations).
The United Coalition has been bringing to light pure proportional representation (PPR) before the public as a unifying voting system that addresses many unfair traits in elections which occur to single-winner districts for more than twenty-three consecutive years, but the Green, Libertarian, Democratic and Republican Party bosses aren’t interested, and these same bosses are elected under the unfair plurality elections which cement bad policy.
The party bosses expect us to pay them dues and to support their addiction to pluralist-driven actions?
The United Coalition has a better idea, and we’ve been using PPR correctly for more than twenty-three consecutive years despite the bullying, slander, roadblocks and vicious treatment for more than two decades.
Our opposition won’t allow equal time and equal treatment so we have created our own platform for unity.
