Abstract
The wait for Alexander v. South Carolina Conference of the NAACP is finally over. Nearly five months after the parties asked for the case to be resolved, the Court has issued a decision in its first-ever Shaw case challenging a majority-white district, and as others chronicled on this blog, Justice Alito’s majority opinion will make it harder for civil rights plaintiffs to bring Shaw challenges. But we also have an inkling of why the case took so long.
