Regardless of whether or not they did a good job, was it the court’s job to do?
No, it wasn’t, and the Democrats on the court should be impeached, convicted, and removed.
The legislature could not come up with a map. When the lawmakers can’t do their job. The Supreme Court steps in. Happens with many issues.
In the end, if elected represenatives are incapable of drawing a coherent map because it conflicts with their own interests then who should remediate the issue?
In any case a there should be no bulges or boots, the lines should be relatively smooth and the similar interests of the people located therein should be the driving force.
That the court felt compelled to do it speaks badly of the politicians of PA. The same thing happened in New York and in the end it was better for the people.
If the Republicans come up short, then go and win those seats instead of bitching.
My question too. Aren’t they supposed to be apolitical?
Few things are more political. It is why the courts should butt out. The problem is state constitutions like mine in FL. Here, the rats got the people to ratify an amendment that prohibits political considerations in the drawing of districts. Imagine that. From a practical standpoint it means our thoroughly leftist supreme court designs congressional districts.
This isn’t free government.
No, that isn’t their job.
Left wing hacks decided this...are not going to win this. This is 100% wrong and we need to ensure this is pushed back.
