SCOTUS Leaves Gerrymandering Issue to the States...Justice Kagan Fumes

The Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 on Thursday that they are leaving the issue of partisan gerrymandering at the state level.

"The court holds that partisan gerrymandering claims present political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts," Chief Justice Roberts wrote.

Part of the issue considered by the justices was whether Maryland state Democrats drew unconstitutional boundaries with sinister goals.

A day before the high court's decision, Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said he expected a victory.

In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan argued that majority was "tragically wrong."
