For Second Time, Illinois Asks for More Time to Respond to League of Women Voters Gerrymandering Case

On March 20, the U.S. Supreme Court again granted Illinois more time to respond in Illinois League of Women Voters v Quinn, 11-943. Originally the state’s response had been due March 1, and then the Court had given the state until April 2. Now the state has until April 16. This is the case in which the League argues that gerrymandering (to help incumbents of both major parties) violates the First Amendment.

For Second Time, Illinois Asks for More Time to Respond to League of Women Voters Gerrymandering Case — No Comments

  1. “to help incumbents of both major parties”

    If this were true, I doubt that it would have passed on a party-line vote.

    The LWV is arguing that Citizens United said that the government could not restrict free speech; and that Illinois by creating overly-partisan districts “interferes with the kind of debate they would hear and receive if the government did not interfere at all”.

  2. All gerrymanders –

    1/2 votes x 1/2 districts = 1/4 CONTROL.

    Low tech math — much too difficult for MORON lawyers and judges to understand.
