hey a fun thing is that if congress is delegating authority to an independent agency then by definition that agency is not "unaccountable." it is still accountable to congress. and it is interesting (read: extremely frustrating) to me that these people just write congress out of existence here.

They stay the lower-court ruling, written by a Trump-appointed judge, that found the gerrymander to be illegal.
While no clear vote, Alito wrote a concurrence; and only the three liberal justices dissented.
