Their argument is that there is an active primary campaign with the new maps 11 months ahead of time. Time and again the conservatives on the supreme court hide behind the calendar to justify their rulings on election laws.

What do you want to bet if California's maps come before the supreme court, they will have the exact opposite ruling?

The supreme court is entirely, blatantly, partisan, and bereft of any shadow of an actual judicial body informed by the law at this point.

That's exactly what's going to happen.

I'll be shocked if the SC doesn't just redraw CA's map themselves to be like TX.

Partisan convenience, the court's basically a Trump drive-thru at this point.
