[...] Thisis behind a subscription wall, but it is very unusual for a judge to comment about an ongoing case like this. A few quotes from Justice Baer: ““It takes a week or so to write a majority opinion on any big case, and it will take a week or so here.” “I did not expect this maelstrom,” he said. “I don’t think any of us did.

And, you know, the constitution was not set up to rubberstamp things.” This entry was posted in redistricting.
