House quickly kills new Black district for Supreme Court
Associated Press— A bill to give Louisiana a second majority-Black Supreme Court district was killed on the House floor Wednesday when an opponent used a parliamentary move to abruptly cut off debate, angering the measure’s Republican sponsor. Ivey, who is white, has joined fellow Republicans in the GOP-dominated Legislature in opposing efforts to create a second majority-minority congressional district in Louisiana. “A six-district congressional map is a much more difficult task, trying to create a second majority-minority district, because of the population distribution of minorities,” Ivey told the House. Other legislation that would redraw Supreme Court boundary lines without creating new minority districts is advancing in the Legislature.
