The case argues the policy violates the federal right to travel and challenges Congress’s 1996 welfare overhaul allowing lower initial benefits.

Supreme Court sides with NC in race based district ruling
The Supreme Court reversed a three judge panel and allowed North Carolina's 12th District to stand, signaling limits on using race as a predominant factor in redistricting. Justice Thomas led the decision noting a full trial is required where facts are disputed, while liberal justices dissented on the sufficiency of evidence. The ruling returns the case to the lower court for further proceedings.
