But Kansas Solicitor General Brant Laue found himself chastised Monday by one of the justices for making what the justice called a “boys will be boys” argument. The Supreme Court heard arguments in the state’s appeal of a lower court ruling striking down a congressional redistricting law allegedly making it harder for the only Democrat in the state’s congressional delegation to win reelection this year.
Justice Dan Biles challenge Laue and suggested that partisan gerrymandering can never be a legitimate state interest.
