States rights
The Supreme Court's stab at partisan cornholing in the Colorado redistricting dispute:
What is troubling is a dissent by Chief Justice William Rehnquist and two of his colleagues that argues for diving into the conflict. Given these justices' eagerness to defer to the states in other matters, the dissent smacks of partisan politics and raises new concerns about the [Supreme Court]'s neutrality.- Word. From an editorial in the NY Times.
By departing from his deeply held belief in state autonomy to side with the Republican Party in a redistricting case, Chief Justice Rehnquist has once again invited the public to question this court's motives.
