I don't think gerrymandering can be defended as a practice on equal protection grounds. The model has worked in Canada with very good results. The principle behind Prop. 11 is a simple one: politicians should not be allowed to choose their own voters; the voters should choose their elected officials.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
