The Wisconsin Supreme Court has appointed two three-judge circuit court panels to hear lawsuits challenging the state’s Republican-favoring congressional map. A conservative justice’s dissent defending the existing districts relied on a mischaracterization of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Elections Clause.
President Donald Trump stated he is ready to nominate another Supreme Court justice if Justice Samuel Alito or Justice Clarence Thomas retires. The comments follow speculation about Alito's potential departure before midterm elections, amid his recent hospitalization. Senate Republicans say they would move to confirm a nominee quickly.
