一位路易斯安那州法官否认黑人立法者向司法部长Liz Murrill提出诉讼, 要求总检察长Liz Murrill为州国会地图辩护, A Louisiana judge denied a lawsuit by Black lawmakers demanding Attorney General Liz Murrill defend the state’s congressional map, which creates two majority-Black districts. Murrill曾支持地图,但现在却挑战以种族为基础的重新划分选区,她说,她有法律酌处权,强迫她捍卫立法会破坏权力分立。 Murrill, who previously supported the map but now challenges race-based redistricting, said she has legal discretion and forcing her to defend legislation would disrupt the separation of powers. 裁决允许她关注最高法院即将于10月15日发表的关于种族意识重新划分是否符合宪法的论点,这可能会影响《投票权法》。 The ruling allows her to focus on upcoming Supreme Court arguments on October 15 over the constitutionality of race-conscious redistricting, which could affect the Voting Rights Act. 目前的地图目前仍然保持原样。 The current map remains in place for now.
