Talk:Hunt v. Cromartie

Untitled
Some of the information in this article is incorrect. Justice Breyer wrote the majority opinion and Justice Thomas wrote the dissent. Plus, the precedent case was shaw v. reno rather than shaw v hunt. thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.163.112.40 (talk) 23:16, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * No, Justice Thomas wrote the opinion in Hunt v. Cromartie (1999), with Breyer concurring as shown. (The entire court agreed that summary judgment was improvidently granted initially, but Breyer indicated that he would have accepted the 12th district already.) Then the case was sent back down for a full trial, and it came back up as Hunt v. Cromartie II, which became Easley v. Cromartie after Mike Easley became governor instead of Jim Hunt. In Easley v. Cromartie, O'Connor switched sides from Shaw v. Reno, satisfied with the new map, and so Breyer wrote. This despite O'Connor not joining Breyer's concurrence in 1999. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Thacker (talk • contribs) 01:47, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
