  • Racial Mind-Games and Reapportionment: When Can Race Be Considered (Legitimately) in Redistricing?
    ESSAY RACIAL MIND-GAMES AND REAPPORTIONMENT: WHEN CAN RACE BE CONSIDERED (LEGITIMATELY) IN REDISTRICTING? Ken Gonnley* The past decade of Supreme Court cases dealing with race and reapportionment, from Shaw v. Reno in 1993 to Easley v. Cromartie in 2001, have created ambiguity and tension. The Court has con- structed a seemingly simple test: race cannot constitute the "pre- dominant factor" in drawing legislative districts. Yet the Court has done little to inform lawyers and lower courts in what contexts race legitimately may be considered in the reapportionment process. In this Essay, Professor Ken Gormley tackles that jurisprudential conun- drum from a unique perspective. Professor Gormley is the author of Archibald Cox: Conscience of a Nation (Perseus Books 1997), a biogra- phy of the Harvard professor turned Solicitor General, who argued the pivotal cases of Baker v. Carrand Reynolds v. Sims in the Supreme Court and helped draft the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Professor Gormley himself served as Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Legislative Reapportionment Commission in the early 1990's, con- fronting race issues first-hand. Professor Gormley concludes that the "predominant factor" test is on the right path, however, to establish a clear guide for lawyers, litigants, and lower courts, the Court must Professor of Law, Duquesne University. This Essay was completed in three months, from start to finish. The author only survived that timetable thanks to the help of numerous friends and experts. Professor Pamela Karlan (Stanford) undertook a thorough review of the manu- script and provided many useful comments, despite other reapportionment-related commit- ments.
