In a rare move, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a follow-up order on its Louisiana v. Callais decision, which will expedite the reshaping of the Democratic Party in Congress.

The Supreme Court’s April decision held that Louisiana’s congressional map, creating a second majority-black district, constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The Court followed up by granting the request to issue the judgment immediately, accelerating the implementation of the ruling and enabling states like Louisiana to establish new districts before the 2026 midterm elections.
