Alito slams Jackson’s dissent as Louisiana redistricting moves ahead

Justice Alito, in a concurring opinion joined by Justices Gorsuch and Thomas, harshly rebuked Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's solo dissent in the Louisiana redistricting case, calling her charges baseless and insulting as the court fast-tracks the ruling ahead of the 2026 midterms. Jackson warned the decision could overstep and politicize elections, while legal experts noted the unusually pointed tone signals internal friction on the bench. The court's unsigned order lets Louisiana move forward with a redesigned map, following a 6-3 ruling narrowing Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
