連邦最高裁判事サミュエル・アリートはペンシルバニアの再区画の差し止め請求を拒否

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.

ペンシルバニアの共和党州議会リーダが連邦最高裁に現行の区割りに留めるように訴えを起こしてたが却下
依然としてアリートに再考を求める可能性はあるものの
ゲリマンダーの反対派にとっては大きな勝利になった

※ちなみにノースカロライナの連邦地裁の区割りやり直し判決は連邦最高裁に差し止められ連邦最高裁の判断に委ねられてます
