Those limitations do not address partisan gerrymandering. It is not within the authority of this Court to amend the constitution to create such limitations on a responsibility that is textually assigned to another branch,\u201d North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul Newby, a Republican, wrote for the majority.<\/p>\n<p>The court\u2019s previous 4-3 Democratic majority had struck down the GOP-drawn map. After Republicans regained control in an expensive midterm election campaign, the party\u2019s new 5-2 majority granted a request from GOP lawmakers to rehear the dispute, marking only the third time the court did so in the past three decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing decisions such as this, we must remember that, though the path forward might seem long and unyielding, an injustice that is so glaring, so lawless, and such a betrayal to the democratic values upon which our constitution is based will not stand forever,\u201d Justice Anita Earls, a Democrat, wrote in dissent.<\/p>\n<p>Her dissent was joined by the court\u2019s other Democrat, Justice Michael Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>The new decision could impact a pending U.S. Supreme Court case with major nationwide implications for federal elections.<\/p>\n<p>After the maps were struck down, the nation\u2019s highest court agreed to take up an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal from the Republican lawmakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The lawmakers advanced before the justices their maximalist argument known as the independent state legislature theory, which contends that the federal Constitution prohibits state courts and constitutions from limiting legislatures\u2019 power to regulate federal elections. <\/p>\n<p>Under that theory, the lawmakers asked the justices to reverse the state Supreme Court\u2019s previous decision and rule that they had no authority to issue it.<\/p>\n<p>But with that decision now overruled, the U.S. Supreme Court could dismiss the appeal without reaching the merits.
