Gerrymandering is antithetical to freedom and representative government. It should be outlawed permanently.

My favorite part:

New maps, anytime:
On a different issue, the court ruled that state legislators may draw new maps as often as they like — not just once a decade as Texas Democrats claimed.

I like the headline. It's like a headline saying, "Red Sox Outscore Yankees in Ninth Inning," when the final score is 5-1 Yankees, with the Sox getting their one run in the ninth.

The LYING MSM is trying to portray this aas a victory for libs.

The Republicans won.

The part of this ruling regarding changing some of the map is going to be changed by guess who THE RREPUBLICAN CONTROLLED STATE SENATE.

NICE TRY LIBS.

Well, not perfect news, but pretty good nonetheless. Btw, I'm betting on a "SCOTUS repudiates DeLay" theme on tonight's MSM news.

MSNBC headline is BACKWARDS due to bias....

Should read...

SUPREME COURT UPHOLD TEXAS DISTRICT MAP: SMALL ADJUSTMENTS ACCOMMODATE LOCAL DEMOGRAPHICS

IMHO...
Food for thought

Only Kennedy stands in the way of some really solid decisions from the SC. He is always just a little off. On the other hand, it could be worse. He is light years better than those 4 goons on the far left.

I loathe gerrymandering.

No one seems to be stating the really important decision made by the Supremes.

RE-DISTRICTING CAN TAKE PLACE ANYTIME WHEN A STATE CHANGES PARTY COMPLICTION. NO LONGER EVERY 10 YEARS...THIS IS HUGE....THE DIMWITS HAVE LOST BIG-TIME ON THAT DECISION!!!!

This is a win for the Republicans. At WORST, with good redrawing of the struck-down district (and other districts that will have be redrawn near it to compensate), we will lose one of the seats we gained in Texas. This is clearly not what the DUmmies wanted. (They are freaking out over there. It was quite amusing to see them go "Woohoo" at first when the biased media report first came out, and then as some of the more intelligent DUmmies started to read the decision, they realized that this really is a huge victory for Delay and the Republicans.)

An interesting point is that in addition to losing on the big constitutional questions, the libs won only ONE of the two VRA issues. Kennedy, joined by Alito and Roberts (and by Scalia and Thomas, although for different reasons) upheld the Dallas-area redistricting.

I'm greatly concerned about the ruling that new majorities in a legislature can redistrict at any time during a decade.

Being trapped in CA, where there is no competition in districts, that smells like TROUBLE to me.
