Redistricting landed in court after the Legislature failed to approve a plan for new congressional districts and the governor vetoed Democratic-backed proposals for legislative and Public Regulation Commission districts. Trials on legislative and PRC redistricting will be held after the judge wraps up the congressional case, which is expected to last several days this week.
Trial starts on NM redistricting
Good background summary at the link.
****The Founders clearly gave the legislatures supreme authority about what is constitutional or not.****
****The legislature failed to act so it went to the courts****
So how does this having Standing with the courts work then? What are the rules? If it is against the Constitution for Justices to rule Constitutionality, how can the court allow Standing in this case?
Am I asking the wrong question because Standing is not related to this? Is there another term that would or should apply?
