Missouri’s Republican leadership has given up on its gerrymandered map after the U.S. Supreme Court twice rejected it, according to Above the Law’s Morning Docket. The roundup describes the Supreme Court’s actions as explicit rebukes, and state leaders have apparently decided not to continue defending the map.
The Eighth Circuit, however, is taking a different stance. The docket jokingly characterizes the appeals court as saying “hold my beer,” suggesting it is prepared to keep the litigation alive even after the Supreme Court’s interventions.
The same roundup also notes a Second Circuit ruling that the Fourth Amendment does not cover warrantless conduct. The entry does not provide enough detail to identify the specific facts of the case, so the full scope of that decision remains unclear from this source alone.
