That petition also asks the court to overturn a February 2022 decision from the case, despite no petition having been filed relating to it for the better part of a year now.\r\n\r\n\u201cSpeaker Moore and President Pro Tem Berger believe our state Supreme Court should rubber stamp the legislature\u2019s unconstitutional abuse of power \u2014 putting political gain over the people,\u201d said <strong>Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause North Carolina<\/strong>. \u201cThese leaders ought to know better, since both Moore and Berger themselves once called for independent redistricting reform to repair a broken process.\u00a0\u00a0Their petition is nothing more than a cynical attack on judicial independence, our state\u2019s Constitution, and North Carolinians\u2019 long-held freedoms. Legislative leaders must put people over politics and end their obsession with rigging our voting districts.\u201d\r\n\r\nA difference of opinion among Justices on the court is not grounds for a rehearing, according to Common Cause\u2019s motion, especially in a case like <em>Harper<\/em>, where all facts and legal arguments have been accounted for.\r\n\r\n\u201cIt\u2019s clear both in the petition they filed and in their public comments that Legislative Defendants in this case are proceeding improperly in asking this court to rehear <em>Harper<\/em>,\u201d said <strong>Hilary Harris Klein, Senior Counsel for Voting Rights at Southern Coalition for Social Justice<\/strong>. \u201cTheir move is politically-motivated, untimely and without a basis in law, and therefore a dismissal of the Petition outright is warranted.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe high court has 30 days to respond to lawmakers\u2019 initial petition for rehearing, which was filed January 20, 2023.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe will continue to fight for all voters in the state of North Carolina to ensure they have an equal opportunity to elect their representatives and we stand with our co-counsel at the Southern Coalition for Social Justice in support of the decision of the North Carolina Supreme Court finding that corrosive political gerrymandering is unconstitutional,\u201d said <b>Tom Boer, partner at Hogan Lovells<\/b>. \u201cThere is no basis to revisit that holding.\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Media Contacts<\/strong>:\r\nBryan Warner, Common Cause | <a href=\"mailto:bwarner@commoncause.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bwarner@commoncause.org<\/a> | 919-836-0027\r\nMelissa Boughton, SCSJ | <a href=\"mailto:melissa@scsj.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">melissa@scsj.org<\/a> | 830-481-6901\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<em>Common Cause North Carolina<\/em><em> is a nonpartisan grassroots organization dedicated to upholding the core values of American democracy.
