Holding
Claims of unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering present nonjusticiable political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts, because there are no judicially discoverable and manageable standards for deciding them and no constitutional grant of authority for federal judges to reallocate political power between the parties; the remedy for partisan gerrymandering lies with the States (state constitutions, statutes, and independent commissions) and with Congress, not the federal judiciary.
