Washington (CNN) The Supreme Court will hear a case on Tuesday that could change the way state legislators draw district lines and realign modern day politics. At issue is extreme partisan gerrymandering, and the case has brought together odd bedfellows including everyone from former President Barack Obama, former California Gov. Now, the court is being asked to do just that, and as usual, all eyes will be on Justice Anthony Kennedy. In a 2004 partisan gerrymander case, conservatives on the court said they thought the issue should be handled by the political branches. The court relied upon a three-part legal standard based on discriminatory intent, discriminatory effect and the justification for the law.
