...federal judges ordered that their plan, which doesn't require Justice approval, go into effect last week. The Democrats appealed to the Supreme Court in hopes of getting that order blocked. But it turns out that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia handles emergency appeals from Mississippi, which is convenient for the Republicans. Scalia personally swore in Chip Pickering as a congressman in 1997 and is a friend of the congressman's father, U.S. District Court Judge Charles Pickering, whose nomination to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is snarled in the Senate.
