The Supreme Court has responded to requests for quick action on redistricting, abortion, and Big Tech. The court's decision on Louisiana's congressional map left questions about the state's ability to redistrict before the midterms. The majority of Justice Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas foregoed the normal 32-day wait before formally releasing a case, "sending down the judgment," usually a step that allows the losing side to ask for rehear the case. This move was met with resistance from liberal Justice Jackson, who accused the court of giving itself too much power. The order removes a potential roadblock to Louisiana Republicans' plans to immediately redraw their map and potentially give them a strong chance for the midterm. Civil rights groups have acknowledged the Supreme Court's influence in this situation.
