SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
[January 25, 1999]
Justice Ginsburg, with whom Justice Souter joins, dissenting.
I agree with the Court that Indiana resident Hofmeister, an appellee in No. 98564, has standing to challenge the Census 2000 plan on the ground that Indiana would lose a Representative in Congress under the Census Bureaus proposed sampling plan. I also agree with the Courts conclusion that the appeal in No. 98404 should be dismissed. I would not decide whether other appellees in No. 98564 have established standing on the basis of the expected effects of the sampling plan on intrastate redistricting. Respecting the merits, I join Parts I and II of Justice Stevenss dissent.
