Calendar of Cases, including..

                    Gill v Whitforf
The Wiscon sin legislature redrew its state Assembly
districts in the wake of the 2010 Census. The legislature
took into account traditional redistricting criteria- it also
considered politics. The resulting Assembly map was an
extreme partisan gertyrander that resulted in significant
overrepresentation for the maiorit' party (as compared with
the statewide vote) and effeclively locked in majorily-part,
control of the Assembly, Voters from 11 Assembly districts
soed, arguing that the map violated the First and Fourteenlh
Amendments

                 Sessions v Dimaya
Aliens convicted of an aggravated felony can be removed
from the country in deportation proceedings. Federal law
allows such deportations if aliens have engaged in a felony
that involves a substantial risk that physical force against
the person or property of another may be used in the course
of committing the offense. The problem is in determining
when an offense entails such significant risk. Take the
crime of burglar. Some burglaries involve physical force, but
many burglaries involve no physical fbrce or are committed
when the owners are not present. The key question for the
Court is whether this law is unconstitutionally vague.
