The courts have decreed that voting districts be drawn according to ethnic ties, so as not to dilute votes of minority communities.

Where did that come from?

The constitution is supposed to be an inpenitrable hedge around the federal government and the Bill of Rights enumerates some of our rights that they (the federal government) are not supposed to infringe on...any other's not listed remain with the states and with us.

But that's not stopping them. We have to.

Jeff, I think just the idea of abandoning our old secure beliefs is too much for many people to take. When I saw the Patriot Act sweep through Congress I knew we were in serious trouble.

The largest problem of this encroachment is that too many people truly believe we need it. Second in line was the faith people have in politicians. They do not want to review the lies we have been told and demand corrections from their leaders liars. Continuing to search for the good moves while ignoring and shunning all knowledge of the bad ones isn't the way to operate a business or a free country.

Why do you think redistricting plans wind up in federal courts so often? This is so perverse!!
