A very interesting article partially on the new Supreme Court Year fast approaching in a little over a month as it considers the gerrymandering congressional map of the state of Wisconsin. This case and how future attempts at congressional districting will be shaped will be determined by likely Anthony Kennedy, the current swing vote on the court. When this case comes to the court, it may be revealing to hear Justice Kennedy's oral comments. Sometimes they tell analysts where the justice's vote is headed. While not full proof, it has served as a clear indicator in the past. Let's hope Justice Kennedy sides with democracy in this case.
