Schatzle v. Kirkpatrick, Secretary of State of Missouri, et al.
[MAJORITY]
Affirmed on appeal from D. C. W. D. Mo.
[CONCURRENCE — Justice Rehnquist,]
Justice Rehnquist,
concurring.
Appellant in this case requests that we overrule Kirkpatrick v. Preisler, 394 U. S. 526 (1969). But here the District Court did not invalidate a reapportionment plan duly adopted by the state legislature; it merely adopted a plan of its own when the legislature was unable to reach agreement. This case, therefore, does not require that we address appellant’s suggestion respecting Kirkpatrick v. Preisler, supra.
