Assignment: Follow and journalize the ongoing case of Pennsylvania's redistricting.

This is a 40-point major assignment and will be do at the end of the course. Redistricting is usually the purview of the state legislature, however the PA Supreme Court declared that the current congressional districts as designed (gerrymandered) by the legislature are unconstitutional. The PA Supreme Court ordered that the state legislature had 3 weeks to redo.

The PA legislature is majority Republican and the PA Supreme Court is 5-2 Democratic.

A view of the existing vs the proposed by PA Supreme Court is the last of the web links below.

You will have to read and analyze the material and do your own research to establish the procedural posture of the case (Who is suing who for what) and determine the status of the case. Then a review of how the defendants tried to move the case to US Supreme Court because of a constitutional issue. The case is fluid and there will be action in the near future.

By the end of the course, if there has been no decision, you will write the opinion of how the Court's will rule.
