Supreme Court oral arguments in Trumps immunity case conclude
Fox News David Spunt reports the latest from outside the Supreme Court as arguments conclude in Trumps immunity case. The Outnumbered panel also reacted to the arguments and the implications of the case.
The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled to reverse a lower court's decision that said a South Carolina redistricting map was unconstitutional, rejecting the idea that it was racially discriminatory.
In a 6-3 decision, written by Justice Samuel Alito, the high court said that, "a party challenging a map’s constitutionality must disentangle race and politics if it wishes to prove that the legislature was motivated by race as opposed to partisanship. Second, in assessing a legislature’s work, we start with a presumption that the legislature acted in good faith."
"In this case, which features a challenge to South Carolina’s redistricting efforts in the wake of the 2020 census, the three-judge District Court paid only lip service to these propositions," the decision states.

"That misguided approach infected the District Court’s findings of fact, which were clearly erroneous under the appropriate legal standard," Alito wrote.
