NEW: The Robinson plaintiffs in the original Voting Rights Act case that led to the order creating a second opportunity district in Louisiana filed a motion at SCOTUS asking the Supreme Court to recall the Callais mandate b/c Monday's order, they say, was based on an inaccurate claim.
But we can all see for ourselves that the claim was accurate. It's right there in black and white, and even the new filing proves it to be accurate.
The appellants had not expressed an intent. They had requested an opportunity, itself pretty bizarre. I'm sorry if those appellants in a major case messed up the process, but that's why this should be taken seriously.
At best the NAACP screwed up here. Hold them accountable for botching the process. But more realistically, this was a political stunt. They knew they were losing and wanted to grab headlines.
