The U.S. Supreme Court issued an order sending Mississippi and North Dakota state legislative map cases back to lower courts for reconsideration in light of its recent Louisiana v. Callais ruling.

The brief, unsigned order came after the court weakened Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination in redistricting. The decision allows the justices to sidestep a broader fight over enforcement of the law's Section 2 provisions by private groups and individuals rather than only the U.S. attorney general.

The Court vacates lower court orders in these redistricting cases and sends them back in light of Callais.

Justice Jackson would decide the issue now and summarily dispose of the cases in light of a 1996 ruling on a different section of the Voting Rights Act.

The Left’s claims that the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais marks a return to Jim Crow are asinine.

The Court’s decision was aligned with the Constitution and actually returned the Voting Rights Act to its original meaning.
