The VRA and the Court of Appeals

It's worth noting that this case, the court never really states the basis for their holding. They don't articulate a standard of review for lower courts to use when applying the principles of equal sovereignty,. Let alone apply such a standard themselves. And they skip over the standard that would usually be applied, which is congruence and proportionality. It's not like this is brand new. The court has tackled the VRA in specific and how to review it before.
