NEW YORK, June 27 -- The American Jewish Committee issued the following news release:
American Jewish Committee (AJC) is disappointed by the United States Supreme Court's decision in Rucho v. Common Cause, in which the Court held that partisan gerrymandering claims "present political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts."
In an amicus brief, AJC had urged the Court to find that partisan gerrymandering in fact violates the Constitution.
