Marcia Coyle, senior Washington correspondent at The National Law Journal, reviews Wednesday's arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court over partisan gerrymandering.

The case—Benisek v. Lamone—was the second on the topic this term. In October, the court heard a redistricting case from Wisconsin. The justices Wednesday appeared no closer to determining how far politics can go into redistricting.
