The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais back on October 15. At the time, there was a broad consensus the Court would severely weaken, if not gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The only question was when the Court would rule. Depending on how quickly the opinion came out, the Louisiana legislature might be able to hold a special session to redistrict for the midterm.
Fast forward four months to the present, and there is no opinion in Callas. Indeed, the Court also hasn't decided the tariffs case, Slaughter, or anything else of substance yet.
