Sadly, they have made our district worse than it was before.

The Court appears to have decided otherwise, and to have the authority to back it up.

Just proof that there is no such thing as nonpartisan redistricting, no matter who does it or how.

Funny how it’s ONLY “Partisan Politics From the Bench” when it doesn’t go the way YOU wanted it to go…

American politics has become a debilitating chronic disease. Gerrymandering should not be a political right.

An op-ed on whether or not we really need congressional districts:

BTW, the Constitution is silent on this point.

When the courts do their jobs the GOP thinks they are being disgusting partisans – because they aren’t siding with the right. If the GOP doesn’t have gerrymandering, how are they supposed to win with a minority of support?

Pennsylvania Republicans are discussing impeaching the State Supreme Court judges who overturned their heavily partisan gerrymandered districts, and no one seems to be stopping them.

The rumblings of impeachment have grown stronger ever since the court struck down the Republican-crafted map, instead substituting a map that would be more fair, but less Republican.

When you stop cheating, the outcome will change. Who’d have thought!?
