This article is horrendously written. Lots of nonsense sentences. I'd take a crack at editing but this is not my area of knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sterngard ( talk • contribs) 01:27, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
Does the ruling in this case partially overturn the rulings in Davis v. Bandemer and/or Vieth v. Jubelirer? Or did Vieth already overturn the ruling in Davis that partisan gerrymandering was justiciable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdewman6 ( talk • contribs) 18:59, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
JUSTICE WHITE delivered the opinion of the Court with respect to Part II, concluding that political gerrymandering, such as occurred in this case, is properly justiciable under the Equal Protection Clause.
Chief Justice Roberts delivered the opinion of the Court. [...] “[J]udicial action must be governed by standard, by rule,” and must be “principled, rational, and based upon reasoned distinctions” found in the Constitution or laws. [...] Judicial review of partisan gerrymandering does not meet those basic requirements.
Nothing was overturned in this [...] Partisan gerrymandering is still unconstitutionalis incorrect. The ruling was clear: redistricting is solely the purview of the Legislature involved unless the Constitution creates an exception, which it does when racial discrimination is involved—as the court found in Shaw v. Reno—but not when partisan "discrimination" is involved and partisan gerrymandering is thus constitutional. This finding overturns Davis v. Bandemer which ruled that the Constitution contained such an exception for partisan gerrymandering through the Equal Protection Clause. 144.134.67.38 ( talk) 09:23, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
the language "overturned" doesn't [appear] at all in the slip decisionhence the use of the term de facto, which is common to articles concerning these kind of cases. 144.134.67.38 ( talk) 09:33, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
