This week delivered explosive Supreme Court developments with two unanimous decisions and Texas redistricting ruling reshaping voting rights.

The Court reversed Clark versus Sweeney and Pitts versus Mississippi while granting Texas a controversial redistricting stay.

Next week promises blockbuster cases addressing presidential power, campaign finance regulations, death penalty standards, and investment law.
