I'm not sure what the implications of this ruling will be in the upcoming census and redistricting fight. It does sound like the conservatives will be packing more minorities into fewer districts. While this will elect more minorities to Congress (and other legislative bodies), the overall number of minority interests will probably be diluted. This is just more of the status quo I guess. This will probably have some long term consequences when talking about immigration. George HW Bush rides again!
