Needless to say, the Supreme Court's rather selective application of the Purcell principle (no last-minute changes to election rules) in AL vs. WI won't do anything to diminish perceptions it's become a partisan body.

So much for overturning redistricting plans so close to an election. The full hypocrisy of the conservative majority of the Supreme Court on display. This is a willful exercise of political power by the Court, not judges calling balls and strikes https://t.co/am8mR3bLaI

Six weeks ago, in early February, SCOTUS stayed a ruling ordering Alabama to redraw its congressional map because it was too close to the election

Now, in late March, it's ordering Wisconsin to redraw its legislative maps https://t.co/pCwGbugAt0
Keep in mind that this doesn't apply to the congressional map the WI Supreme Court adopted (not that that map helps Dems much). https://t.co/zG06wx5yqK

This is an absolutely shocking decision. The maps were adopted by a Republican justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This appeal was considered a Hail Mary, and it prevailed. I am stunned by this ruling. https://t.co/i5r4D0eqcj

BREAKING: Supreme Court grants Wisconsin Republicans' request to throw out governor's state legislative maps drawn to include an extra majority-black district. Justices Kagan & Sotomayor write a dissent. Apparent vote is 7-2, but we cannot be sure as this is on the shadow docket.
