Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Good news!!
Which was even worse, given the lawless Democrat PA Supremes.
The Maryland gerrymandering should be struck down. Our side should have at least 3 of the 8 seats. Of course, the damage was done with their failure to stop the theft of 5 House seats in PA by the lawless Democrat-Fascist court.
Better both suits dismissed than both upheld.
As much as I’d to see Maryland gerrymandering overturned if that would be used as precedent to mess with GOP maps in the states we control it would not be worth it.
SCOTUS remanding for lack of standing not only makes it more difficult for RATs to assert a colorable claim of injury based on redistricting plans that “underrepresent” the RATs when looking at it statewide, it also buys us time for either Justice Kennedy to retire or for Mother Nature to create a vacancy in a Leftist-held seat that President Trump will fill with a conservative who will be the fifth vote to put an end to lawsuits claiming political gerrymandering once and for all.
As for the MD redistricing map, it is a travesty, but thee’s nothing unconstitutional about it. Let the RATs gerrymander MD to their heart’s content, so long as we get to do it in all of those states that we control; we’ll come out ahead by a few dozen seats.
Not sure if this sites bias.
