Jokes aside, I was not expecting this ruling. Alabama's congressional districts don't look as egregious as some states mostly because there are fewer, but the 7th district is a particularly bad racial gerrymander, packing the overwhelmingly black parts of Montgomery and Birmingham into a single district.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one...
