Schatzle v. Kirkpatrick

Supreme Court of the United States
Schatzle v. Kirkpatrick, 456 U.S. 966 (1982)
102 S. Ct. 2228

Schatzle v. Kirkpatrick

Opinion of the Court

Affirmed on appeal from D. C. W. D. Mo.

Concurring Opinion

Justice Rehnquist,

concurring.

Appellant in this case requests that we overrule Kirkpatrick v. Preisler, 394 U. S. 526 (1969). But here the District Court did not invalidate a reapportionment plan duly adopted by the state legislature; it merely adopted a plan of its own when the legislature was unable to reach agreement. This case, therefore, does not require that we address appellant’s suggestion respecting Kirkpatrick v. Preisler, supra.
