[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although the victory was favorable to the Democrats, I think this may be a trap as the decision wasn't about the evils of gerrymandering. I think SCOTUS found that the Republicans had no standing to sue for a state decision...so in states where Democrats aren't in the majority and face an egregious gerrymandered map, SCOTUS will tell them they have no standing to sue.[/quote] Yes, that’s what happens when the law is applied the same way to everyone, regardless of political affiliation. Only a hyper-partisan would expect anything else.[/quote] Except that of the states with egregiously gerrymandered districts to support a political party, 14 are in areas Republicans govern, and 2 are in an area where Democrats govern. So this decision helps Democrats in Virginia but will hurt them everywhere else. So much for one man, one vote.[/quote] This is one of the more nonsensical things I’ve read here in a while.[/quote]
