Alabama Legislative Black Caucus v. Alabama - Post-Argument SCOTUScast
SCOTUScast 2-14-15 featuring Mark Braden
On November 12, 2014, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Alabama Legislative Black Caucus v. Alabama, which was consolidated with Alabama Democratic Conference v. Alabama.
These cases ask whether Alabama's legislative redistricting plans classify black voters by race, in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, by intentionally packing them into districts designed to maintain supermajority percentages produced when 2010 census data are applied to the 2001 majority-black districts.
To discuss the case, we have Mark Braden, who is Of Counsel at Baker & Hostetler.
