Justice Samuel Alito took sharp aim at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent on Monday to the Supreme Court’s decision to speed up the implementation of last week’s landmark Louisiana redistricting decision, writing that Jackson’s dissent “lacks restraint” and calling her rationale “baseless and insulting.”

The Supreme Court granted an emergency application to issue its judgment in Louisiana v. Callais immediately, rather than the usual 32-day waiting period, which can be shortened at the court’s discretion. The order allows Louisiana to redraw its congressional map, which the justices ruled was unconstitutional by a 6-3 margin on Wednesday, quickly before the 2026 election. The new Louisiana congressional map could net Republicans at least one seat, while other states have also worked to redraw their maps in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s ruling, which significantly raised the bar to bring Voting Rights Act lawsuits over alleged racial gerrymandering.
