A day after California voters approved a ballot measure in response to Republican redistricting efforts in other states,

the California Republican Party is suing this afternoon on exit stream to news conference in which

Dylan Law Group partner Mike Colbo, says the map enacted in

Proposition 50 is designed to favor one race of voters over others and is unconstitutional.

When drawing the Proposition 50 map, the chief consultant who drew the map has stated that the first thing that he did was to increase the power of Latino

voters. Additionally, the state legislature has announced that the maps increase the power

of Latino voters. The measure California voters backed could help Democrats flip as many as five congressional

seats. It is part of an expanding redistricting race across the country for control of the U.S.

House. The Supreme Court heard arguments today in a case that could end many of President

Trump's tariffs. NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben reports the case

is yet another opportunity for the High Court to determine how much power a president has.

The case focused on the country-by-country tariffs that Trump imposed on goods from nearly the

entire world this year. Trump authorized those tariffs using a 1977 law known as the International Emergency Economic

Powers Act, or IEPA, which gives a president broad powers during an emergency. The businesses

in states bringing the case argued that IEPA does not explicitly give presidents the power to

tariff just to regulate imports. They added that the Constitution gives Congress, not the president,

the power to raise revenue. The administration argued, however, that the phrase regulate imports

includes the power to tariff. They also argued that a president has broad powers when it comes

to foreign relations. Danielle Kurtzleben and PR News.
