Gressette Signals Supreme Court Appeal Over SC Senate Apportionment
Sen L Marion Gressette says if federal courts rule against South Carolina Senate apportionment an appeal to the US Supreme Court will follow. Columbia attorney Matthew Perry and black lawyer John Harper II plan a private suit challenging how 46 seats are divided among counties citing Justice Department and federal court rulings. The suit will query whether federal guidance supersedes a 1972 three judge court ruling that the plan was constitutional.
