The Texas/DeLay Redistricting Decision

On June 29, 2006, the American Constitution Society, one of the nation's largest progressive legal organizations, held its annual Supreme Court review at the National Press Club.

The forum was breifly interrupted when attorney Tom Goldstein announced the Supreme Court had ruled against the Bush administration on the use of military tribunals for those held at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Paul Smith, an attorney who has argued a number of cases before the Supreme Court, discussed the Court's recent decision to allow Tom DeLay's mid-term redistricting in Texas that was done to elect more Republicans to stand.
