The Pennsylvania GOP should go to the Supreme Court and argue equal protection.

There is nothing equal about the Pennsylvania court rejecting their redistricting, while:

• Sheila Jackson Lee (D) can have her district in Texas.

  

• Eric Swalwell (D) can have his district in California.

  

• Mark DeSaulnier (D) can have his district in California.

  

• Frederica Wilson (D) has her district in Florida.

  

• Elijah Cummings (D) has his district in Maryland.

  

• Alcee Hastings (D) has his district in Florida.

  

• Jim Clyburn (D) has his district in South Carolina.

  

Let's post more maps. Clearly, there isn't any equal protection for Republican Congressmen in Pennsylvania to have the same redistricting rights as Democrats across the country.

There is a reasonable chance that at least some of this will backfire. There are thousands of registered Democrats in Pennsylvania who vote Republican on most state and national issues. The reasons range from not wanting their property taxes monkeyed with to avoiding conflict in the family.

Westmoreland County, which provided more than Donald Trump's margin in the entire Commonwealth actually has a 3-2 edge in Democrat voter registration. The red areas voted for Hillary:

Holy crap! The problem is that Republicans don’t go after Democrats. Never do. That is why we can’t have nice things.
