Your naïvete on this entire subject takes the cake. Claiming hypocrisy on my part is the same as your claiming cheating, again, you use these words but they don’t mean what you think they do. This entire system is nuanced and far from straightforward as you want to make it.
It does raise the question of what your agenda is here. Mine is to defeat the left, both by using their rules (Justice Dept. pre-approval of the 5th), and by using our prerogatives to draw the lines via the legislature. You bet your ass I’m going to raise hell with respect to left-wing judicial activists trying to change the rules in the middle of the game because the current method puts their allies at a disadvantage.
You are being silly. Apparently, I have a clearer idea of the meaning of cheating than you.

Yes - you are a hypocrite. You squeal like a pig when the very same tactics are used against you as you would use against your opponent. Pretty clear case.
My agenda is to see integrity reign, not to contribute to the chicanery.
I will object to ANYBODY trying to change the rules in the middle of the game.
Remember - this argument started when you falsely claimed that federal law demanded that districts be drawn to ensure a minority representative. You were as wrong about that as you have been since.
