Late Thursday, the Fifth Circuit issued an administrative stay of the Middle District Court’s injunction directing the Legislature to draw new maps. However, the court also requested briefings be filed by the parties in the lawsuit over the maps by 4 p.m. today. — PolitiTweet.org

I sent a letter to the Senate President & Speaker of the House explaining why it's premature to cancel the Extraordinary Session, which I called after the Middle District Court ruled that the congressional maps drawn by Republicans violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. https://t.co/aiLx7O4Lf5 — PolitiTweet.org

Given the expedited timeline, there will likely be additional action by the Fifth Circuit on the stay request before the session is set to begin on June 15. I am not rescinding the special session call at this time, but I will if a stay is in place as of 4:00 p.m. on June 14. — PolitiTweet.org
