Hickenlooper v. Kerr
Petition granted, judgment vacated and case remanded for further consideration in light of Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission on June 30, 2015
Issue: (1) Whether, after this Court's decision in New York v. United States, plaintiffs’ claims that Colorado's government is not republican in form remain non-justiciable political questions; and (2) whether a minority of legislators have standing to challenge a law that allegedly dilutes their power to legislate on a particular subject.
