SCOTUS Bars Challenges To Gerrymandering, Gives GOP Ability To Draw Political Maps However They Want

On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that political partisan gerrymandering cases are outside the purview of federal courts

The High Court's ruling is a major blow for those who tried to challenge in court politically-drawn district maps that are believed to be unconstitutional.

Roland Martin spoke with Kristen Clarke, Presdent/Executive Director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; Ashley Allison, Executive Vice President of Campaigns & Programs for The Leadership Conference Education Fund; and Tomas Lopez, Executive Director of Democracy NC about the SCOTUS ruling and how it will not only impact the 2020 election, but elections to come for the foreseeable future.
