Roberts & #Kavanaugh are the ones to watch

Along with the three liberal justices, #JohnRoberts & Brett Kavanaugh were part of a surprising decision two years ago that required #Alabama to redraw its congressional districts to benefit Black voters and led to the new map in #Louisiana as well.

The outcome likely will be different if either justice votes differently this time around.

4 lawyers will present arguments to the court

But only one is defending the #Louisiana congressional map with 2 majority #Black districts.

That will be #CivilRights lawyer Janai Nelson, representing the Black voters who sued when the state initially produced a map with just one majority Black district.
