"The legislature could not come up with a map."

You don't know the facts of the case. The legislature did come up with a map and it was signed by then Governor Corbett in 2011. That legislative map was good for the 2012, 2014 and 2016 elections. What's changed? Oh, that's right the court is now dominated by Democrats. A complaint was made (after three successful election cycles mind you) and the Pa Supreme Court (again now dominated by left wingers) decided it was no good. One of their own (Judge Baer) even dissented.

We now have a court dominated by democrats and whatever the Republican controlled congress comes up with will be vetoed by the Democrat governor (which it was). The drawing of the congressional maps is clearly the purview of the Congress, not the court.

Looks like it is time to switch the court back to the GOP and make damn sure the PA legislature remains in the hands of the good guys.
