Allen v. Milligan · ¶28

Alabama has now returned to this Court again, seeking a stay of the District Court's second preliminary injunction in these cases. The Court should deny Alabama's request. Alabama has not shown that the District Court erred in holding that plaintiffs were likely to succeed on their Fourteenth Amendment claim. See Hollingsworth v. Perry, 558 U. S. 183, 190 (2010) (per curiam). Furthermore, the State has no legitimate interest in enforcing an unconstitutional map, while vast harms will likely arise from upending the status quo, sowing chaos in Alabama, and rewarding Alabama's gamesmanship.
