After all, gerrymandering was exactly what the Founding Fathers wanted.

And Republicans select only originalist judges, not those activist ones who make up concepts like fairness and honesty.

A wretched, wrenching decision.

If the fixers don’t win, can they still say elections were rigged?

Roberts is a ‘Traditionalist!’ [ If the Tradition is living in the 1890s! ]

And thus the destruction of America at the hands of the Republicans gains more steam…

Democracy dead.

In most states, no you can’t. No voter initiatives – 26 states, no voter proposed amendments – 32

Gingrich’s permanent Republican majority

The conservative Spreme Snort that brought you Citizens United has just detonated Democracy. Should a fake president be able to keep a lying, failed rapist on the Supreme Court?

The ridiculous stance that this is the STATES’ problem, not the federal government, simply ignores several key points:

1. The GOP pursued a national strategy of dominating state legislatures and then once in charge gerrymandering them to prevent being removed. This is a blatant and deliberate violation of the “one man/one vote” criterion established by previous precedent, and shows the perniciousness of the action.

2. Previously, the Court refused to act NOT because they thought gerrymandering didn’t deserve judicial action, but because there wasn’t a clear measure of the effects, which is at least reasonable. But there are SEVERAL now, all of which they ignored, and took a stronger view that it doesn’t deserve national action.

3. This is a matter of NATIONAL security and the NATIONAL Constitution. States rights? Settled that one in 1865, people, and it was specious before that!

The Republicon majority SCOTUS in action. Next case: Can Trump appoint himself President for life?

New Name:

Supreme Court Republican – Oriented Trump-Uplifting Majority

or

SCROTUM

(They wanted a name Trump could remember – and possibly spell correctly).

The Dems are just going to have to play the game and gain seats one by one everywhere until they displace the dangerous republican cretins.

To be fair, they said the states and state courts could and should fix it.

Hey, looks like it’s “fixed” already, know what I mean, wink wink?

It is the correct decision. Both parties benefit. Both parties gerrymander. The Constitution does not prohibit it. The founders were fully aware that men would do their best to tilt the states to their own benefit.

Since 1900, the Dems have controlled the House for 70 out of 119 years. In large part through gerrymandering.

If you want to change it you must amend the Constitution.

Like a gambling house. “Try your luck…try your luck”

Should show little Gremlins from the Kremlin gnawing thru the wire.

The INDIVIDUAL has no rights in government anymore.
