WASHINGTON -- A clash at the Supreme Court Tuesday over Texas' seven-year redistricting battle. At issue is whether some political districts were drawn in a way that discriminates against Hispanic and Black voters.

The case dates back to 2011 when lawmakers redrew district lines after the 2010 census.

The liberal justices seemed favorable to minority voters and civil rights groups that challenged the districts. The court's conservatives appeared to lean toward the state. Justice Anthony Kennedy said little to indicate where his potentially decisive vote would fall.

Our Washington bureau reporter Margaret Chadbourn was inside for the arguments. Watch the link above for her report with reaction from both sides. We also spoke with Trey Martinez Fischer, who served as chair of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, which is a plaintiff in the redistricting case.
