The Democrats must be melancholy with this ruling; however, they have a "Republican" ace in their hole: Sandra Day O'Connor.

Well, one thing is for sure. The 'RATS have TWO hurdles to leap regarding SCOTUS: First, SCOTUS has to take the case. Second, SCOTUS would have to overturn all the good work done by the Legislature making a good map, AND ALL the courts that have upheld it to date.

They may not even agree to take the case. If they do, I surely couldn't imagine them turning it away. Just my opinion.

I haven't heard anything about what the vote was on this ruling yet, but I bet it was 3-0.

Your predictable persistent pessimism makes you a nattering nabob of negativism.

Sandra Day O'Conner didn't support Al Gore in 2000. That is a relevant precedent.

B.S. O'Connor will have nothing to say against this.

This is the best news since the capture of Saddam.
