It’s not a stretch to say that the Court’s upcoming decisions could help put an end to a particular brand of partisan abuse that has plagued our government for centuries. Or, they could be an enormous step backwards in the fight to ensure fair representation – or for that matter, might punt on the core issues and resolve the cases on another basis altogether.
