Sis: Redistricting Ruling Solves Zero

RE: Semanko, Denney lose suit, but ...

Sisyphus: Unfortunately the decision clarifies very little. The decision was a complete dodge by the SCTOSOI, which while cowardly, successfully tosses the hot potato out of the court. It was a rookie mistake to fail to submit a brief. Tomorrow’s hearing should be very interesting. The decision ... (confirms) that their attorney screwed up. We’re gonna have eight commissioners show up tomorrow with no clear guidance on who the proper commissioners are. If the goal was to make sure that Idaho moves their primary to August, this is a great ruling for Semanko and Denney. Where is the commission meeting tomorrow?

Question: Predict what will happen at the redistricting commission hearing Thursday?
