In a decision that brought together right-winger Clarence Thomas and his four liberals colleauges - the court found that the two districts were racially gerrymandered and thus unconstitutional. Progressives are obviously thrilled with this decision - but according to my next guest we should all hold off on the celebrating until the bigger battle for voting rights is won.
