Please don't post cringe libtard articles like that. It's CNN for fuck's sake and I couldn't even read through it with all the charged propagandistic language and spin.

Here is the wiki article on the case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_v._Harper

• North Carolina's Republican-controlled legislature made district maps.

• Wake County Superior Court upheld the maps in January 2022.

• North Carolina Supreme Court held the maps unconstitutional in a 4–3 decision given in February 2022, over the dissent of Chief Justice Paul Martin Newby, who called the court's decision an "unprecedented expansion of judicial power".

• A special master team of outside experts were assigned to create a new map, which was accepted by the superior court on February 24, 2022.

• On February 25, 2022, the General Assembly sought a stay for the newly-drawn maps pending appeal by the U.S. Supreme Court, to allow for review of the Elections Clause issue. It was denied on March 7, 2022, over the dissent of Justice Samuel Alito, who was joined by Justices Thomas and Gorsuch.

• The North Carolina Speaker of the House, President pro tempore of the Senate, and other members of the General Assembly subsequently filed a petition for a writ of certiorari.[9] The Court granted review on June 30, 2022, to be heard in the October 2022–2023 term.

Throughout the litigation, the General Assembly argued their case based on the independent state legislature theory. This theory is based on language from the Elections Clause in the Article One of the U.S. Constitution, stating "The times, places and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof." The theory is based on the reading that Article I implies that only state legislatures may make any decisions related to election law, and prevent any actions from courts or the executive branch from challenging it.
