More really good news...






"The justices turned away a Republican bid to block the map drafted by Evers and approved by the Wisconsin Supreme Court setting boundaries for the state's eight U.S. House districts after the governor vetoed one made by the Republican-controlled legislature he deemed unfairly skewed against Democrats. The emergency request to the justices was made by five Republican U.S. House members."
 
Both rebuffed Republicans and gave Republicans control?

The court also granted a Republican request to block new maps for Wisconsin's state legislature, which were also drawn by Evers and had increased the number of state Assembly districts with a majority of Black voters from six to seven. The court sent that case back to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and ordered it to adopt new maps laying out the various districts. Two liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, dissented from that decision."
