After a panel of three federal judges struck down Texas’s newly redrawn congressional map, the lone dissenter is sounding off at the judge who wrote the opinion.
US Circuit Court Judge Jerry Smith, a Reagan appointee, is complaining about the “judicial misbehavior” of US District Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown, who was appointed by President Donald Trump. The panel’s third judge is an Obama appointee.
Smith published a dissent on Wednesday denying Brown’s ruling that the maps had been unconstitutionally redrawn based on race. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says he’ll appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.
