As a Wisconsin voter/resident, I wish the Supremes had just dismissed this case and sent the plaintiffs home with nothing. Now the WI Democrats will try to talk a WI federal judge into starting it up again. Drawing the voting district lines has always been the perk for the party in power at the time it’s done. the Democrats were happy the many times they did it. Now that Gov. Walker and Republicans were able to be in power long enough to draw the lines, the Democrats cried. Both parties want safe districts but none for the other party. The only fair way is to have districts drawn on contiguous boundaries and natural features such as rivers, not Gerrymandering.

Regarding gerrymandering, let’s get rid of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.

The 16th Amendment can disappear too.

Once 16 & 17A are out of the way and patriots support Pres. Trump in politically “forcing” Congress to surrender state powers that the feds have stolen from the states back to the states, the following will probably happen imo.

Low-information citizens will lose interest in DC to the extent that they won’t be able to guess who the current president is. even after three tries.

The Court decided neither question, ruling unanimously that the plaintiffs . . . lacked standing.

Well, yeah. That's always question #1. If the plaintiff has no standing, there's no case to argue, and no point in letting him take up oxygen in the courtroom.
