[News] Wisconsin lawsuit asks new liberal-controlled Supreme Court to toss Republican-drawn maps ( apnews.com )

The maps in Ohio have been ruled unconstitutional more than once. The court ordered it to be redrawn several times and the last time the legislature just said "we don't want to."

In Ohio, that's a perfectly valid argument. State courts are pretty toothless if the legislature has decided that non-compliance isn't a bad look.

At that point the courts are wrong. The check the that court has on the legislature has is to say something isn't Constitutional, but that's supposed to be a death knell. If it's just ignored, if the Court is just ignored, then there's really nothing they can do. I'm talking about SCOTUS, and Ohio largely modeled their system of the (at the time) emerging federal one. Ohio citizens are apparently ok with what their legislature is doing.
