A reconstituted North Carolina Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a case that the court decided in February of 2022. The 2022 decision invalidated the legislature’s congressional map and replaced it with a map drawn by a special master. Later in the year, the court gained a conservative majority following the 2022 mid-term elections, and in a move some call unprecedented, it agreed to rehear the case to consider whether it should overturn its previous decision – or at least allow the North Carolina legislature to enact a new congressional map. Watch the oral arguments at the link below.
The Supreme Court recently raised questions about whether it should reach a decision in the same case, which had been appealed to the court in 2022. Oral arguments were heard last December. Watch on YouTube.
