The Office of Legal Counsel issued the opinion in response to the Supreme Court’s June 2 decision in Allen v. Milligan. There, the justices blocked a lower court order prohibiting the use of Alabama’s 2023 electoral maps after finding the court failed to consider if Republican lawmakers were acting with good faith when leaving Black voters in the minority in all but one congressional...

Organizations representing federal workers and good government advocates were quick to decry President Trump’s move this week to formally strip around 8,000 federal workers of their civil service protections, making them at-will employees, though the exact contours of the initiative’s scope remain unclear.

Under Office of Personnel Management regulations that took...
