“Over GOP Protests, Court Upholds Illinois Map”

Roll Call: “The ruling means Democrats will have the opportunity to pick up several House seats in 2012 as many Illinois Republican House Members seek re-election in drastically redrawn districts and unfriendly GOP territory next year.”

If anyone has a copy of the ruling of the three-judge court, please send it along.

UPDATE:  Here is a copy of the 55-page opinion, rejecting partisan gerrymandering, racial gerrymandering, and Voting Rights Act section 2 violations.  Thanks to a reader for sending this along.

I wonder whether this three-judge court opinion will be appealed to the Supreme Court.
