BREAKING: SCOTUS blocks New York state court redistricting order [View all]

BREAKING: SCOTUS blocks New York state court redistricting order, over the strong dissent of the Democratic appointees.
Here's the order: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25a914_1p24.pdf
OK, so, a huge problem with this is the irresponsible majority, which did not explain its reasoning. They are left with a one-justice concurrence from Alito justifying this action, and it is aggressively acerbic, even for Alito.
This is different from the TX and CA cases, which were challenges to mid-decade redistricting.
This was a NY state court ruling that a congressional map needed to be altered. It raises different questions about the propriety of the court intervening, especially on the shadow docket.
