U.S. Justices Divided As Oral Arguments Begin In Wisconsin Redistricting Case

U.S. Supreme Court Justices seemed divided during oral arguments Tuesday in Wisconsin’s redistricting case, which involves a challenge to the state’s Republican-drawn legislative map.

We also talk with a political scientist about the challenges the court faces as it weighs this case, plus look at what’s ahead.
