FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
PAUL, Chief Judge.
Gingles Jinple
The Supreme Court’s edict on vote dilution Attempted to offer a legal solution To district courts struggling to try the cases Arising from friction between the races.
But confusion reigned Supreme After reading Brennan’s theme. Are results the only key ? Do statistics open sesame?
Do the experts’ opinions control the query ? Do we listen to history until we become weary? Does it give “effect” to Congress’ “intent” To disregard “intent” to all extent?
Is the race of the candidate relevant? Is success at the polls significant?…
