Liberal justices on the U.S. Supreme Court are reportedly "slow walking" a redistricting decision to effectively deter additional states from trying the tactic before the midterm elections.

On Friday, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told War Room host Steve Bannon that liberals on the court were plotting to prevent Republican-led states from gerrymandering districts ahead of November by refusing to submit a minority opinion in a Louisiana redistricting case that is likely to give states additional latitude in the future.
