On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court dealt Republican gerrymandering a crippling blow when it refused to block a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that struck down the GOP’s congressional map for illegally discriminating against Democratic voters. The state court had ordered the Republican-controlled legislature to draw and pass a new map by Feb. 15, but GOP leaders have refused to cooperate with the ruling after Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf promised to veto any new gerrymander. As a result, the state court itself will likely draw new nonpartisan districts, which could lead to major Democratic gains this fall?anywhere from one to as many as six seats.?
A spokesman for the United State Supreme Court has said that Justice Samuel Alito has denied Pennsylvania legislative leaders' request for a stay of a state court's 11th-hour Congressional redistricting order.
Alito's order is not on the court's docket yet, but the denial has been reported by the court's public information office.
The state's top Republican legislative leaders had hoped that the nation's high court would block the state Supreme Court's Jan. 22 order, which requires agreement with Gov. Tom Wolf on a new map for the Pennsylvania's 18 Congressional districts by Feb. 15.
The leaders, according to court procedure, could still seek a reconsideration of Alito's ruling.
For the moment, however, Alito's ruling is a major victory for opponents of partisan gerrymandering, because its effect is to permit a court-ordered redrawing of an existing map to go forward for the first time in this election cycle.

Missouri was supposed to be the one state this year where Republicans hadn't screwed up their Senate recruitment: They landed their top choice in state Attorney General Josh Hawley, and they managed to avoid a messy primary?things they can't really say about any other race. But even this one apparent success might yet slip from the GOP's fingers. According to three unnamed Republican sources cited in a Friday report from Politico's Kevin Robillard, Rep. Ann Wagner is reconsidering her decision not to run against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill following some Hawley stumbles.
The first concerned his fourth-quarter fundraising, which at $958,000 wasn't bad for a challenger but which was far behind McCaskill's monster $2.9 million haul, the best in the nation (not including California Sen. Dianne Feinstein's $5 million in self-funding) and one that left McCaskill with a wide $9 million to $1.2 million advantage in cash-on-hand. (Somewhat amazingly, it’s February of an election year and Hawley’s campaign website is nothing more than a single splash page.) The second was a more vividly self-inflicted wound: Hawley's own comments blaming the sexual revolution for human trafficking, which traumatically invoked the specter of Todd Akin for Missouri Republicans.
During a speech to pastors in Kansas City in December, Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley linked the problem of sex trafficking to the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
“We have a human trafficking crisis in our state and in this city and in our country because people are willing to purchase women, young women, and treat them like commodities. There is a market for it. Why is there? Because our culture has completely lost its way. The sexual revolution has led to exploitation of women on a scale that we would never have imagined, never have imagined,” Hawley told the crowd in audio obtained this week by The Star.

McCaskill responded to the controversy over Hawley’s comments on Twitter Wednesday evening. She also took a jab at Hawley’s background as a graduate from Stanford University and Yale Law School.
“I didn’t go to one of those fancy private schools, but the history I learned in public schools & Mizzou taught me that the evidence of trafficking of women for sex goes back to before 2000 BC. It didn’t begin with women’s rights and the birth control pill,” McCaskill said in a tweet.

Todd Akin’s remarks about “legitimate rape” during his 2012 campaign against McCaskill. Akin, a St. Louis area Republican, went on to lose to McCaskill by double digits.

Josh Hawley, the Missouri attorney general and rising Republican star who appeared to have a clear path to the party’s U.S. Senate nomination this year, is now facing vague but widespread rumors of buyer’s remorse in the party.
His recent comments blaming sex trafficking on the sexual revolution of 50 years ago got unwanted national attention and have added to the sense of a campaign adrift.
Politico reported Friday that U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Ballwin, who decided last year not to seek the Senate seat, had been recently approached by some in the party about reconsidering.
On Monday, USA Today quoted former Sen. Christopher “Kit” Bond, R-Mo., warning: "If Hawley doesn’t gear it up and get with it, he’ll not beat her.” A Roll Call story this week asks, “What’s going on with the Missouri Senate race?”
