Better both suits dismissed than both upheld.
As much as I’d to see Maryland gerrymandering overturned if that would be used as precedent to mess with GOP maps in the states we control it would not be worth it.
SCOTUS remanding for lack of standing not only makes it more difficult for RATs to assert a colorable claim of injury based on redistricting plans that underrepresent the RATs when looking at it statewide, it also buys us time for either Justice Kennedy to retire or for Mother Nature to create a vacancy in a Leftist-held seat that President Trump will fill with a conservative who will be the fifth vote to put an end to lawsuits claiming political gerrymandering once and for all.
As for the MD redistricing map, it is a travesty, but thees nothing unconstitutional about it. Let the RATs gerrymander MD to their hearts content, so long as we get to do it in all of those states that we control; well come out ahead by a few dozen seats.
