A few weeks back we covered Judge Moore's order throwing out the City of Miami's voting map plan on concerns of racial gerrymandering and adopting the plan proposed by the plaintiffs. The City got the Eleventh Circuit (with a dissent from Judge Wilson) to stay the order, prompting the plaintiffs to ask SCOTUS for emergency review.
Justice Thomas, who handles emergency appeals from the Eleventh, appears to be seriously considering the request. Last Thursday, he ordered the City to respond to the plaintiffs' appeal by 5 p.m. today. The Herald covers it here.
