On March 25, a state trial court in Maryland issued an opinion in Szeliga v Lamone, Anne Arundel Circuit Court, C-02-cv-21-1816. This is the case that argues that the U.S. House district boundaries constitute an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. The 94-page ruling invalidates the districts, and finds that the Maryland State Constitution prohibits partisan gerrymanders. Here is the opinion. Thanks to Bob Johnston for the link.
The primaries are July 19.
Can the courts Constitutionally consider plans from other entities than the state legislature?
Amen to that.
We’re talking a pick-up of one. Nothing to sneeze at, but not quite “big.”
The problem is most “Republicans” in Maryland (and there are precious few) are mostly assistant demokkkrats.
After 55 years in that hellhole, I’m finally in a freer state.
