Why AG Nick Brown wants the Supreme Court involved in WA's redistricting fight

State Attorney General Nick Brown wants the conservative U.S. Supreme Court to wade into Washington’s partisan-fueled tiff on the boundaries of legislative districts.

Last Tuesday, he told the high court that it should accept a case contesting the political maps for the state Legislature, then send it back to a lower court to decide if the manner in which the lines were drawn complies with the justices recent ruling in a Louisiana case.

Brown, a Democrat, says his reason isn’t all that complicated.........

“When we have a substantial change in the underlying case law that the original decisions were based on we think it’s important that the court follow the current standard and the current precedent,” Brown said in an interview late last week.
