From WSJopinion: Eric Holder doesn’t want electoral 'fairness.' He wants partisan judges to impose partisan gerrymanders that protect Democrats, but not Republicans.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder complains nearby about our recent editorial pointing out how he is using the courts to redraw maps that favor Democrats. He says he wants “nothing more than fairness in our electoral system.” This deserves a factual response.

opinion That’s how libs roll. Don’t trust them.

opinion Eric Holder is a corrupt creep

opinion Isn’t that the truth

opinion All the new fed judges picked by, and members of, the Federalist Society. 2 frat boy justices (with Alito, Roberts, and Thomas, 15 years of partisan gerrymandering by the right from the likes of Norquist, Fallwell, Graham, and Koch, and your whining about Holder, PUHLEEASE

opinion What's Holder been up to lately? Arming any cartels this week?

opinion Nothing new from this criminal.

opinion He wanted to fight gerrymandering, but since our courts now in essence allow it, he is saying let’s get busy and play the game the way the GOP does. *Insert WSJ hand wringing *

opinion 🙄

opinion According to the corrupt view of GOP members and voters, fairness is equivalent to protecting Democrats. No, fairness is about just representation, not about weighted count of racist whites. That's why fairness is what Republicans and their media representatives hate the most.

opinion So the WSJ is ok with the republican gerrymandering happening right now

opinion Holder is corrupt

opinion He needs to be investigated

opinion WE'RE not bad, THEY'RE bad!

opinion Take a look at these maps: Dist 2 (G. Holding) on top - carefully carving out Raleigh. Dist 11 (M. Meadows) on bottom - with Asheville carved out. This isn't defensible.

opinion Hypocrisy

opinion AGENDA

opinion I want an end to the electoral college that voided my vote last election.

opinion Disappointing click-bait tweet. Very unbecoming.

opinion Please keep the cringe out of my newspaper.

opinion It is 2019. This country countinues to practice voter fraud at any level. One would think that the mentality would have changed. But, no.

opinion So now the fight against gerrymandering is gerrymandering? Even more ignorant than usual from the Right-wing WSJ.

opinion Give us a break.This is a load of hooey. It’s going to take a hell of a lot of effort to kick the GOP’s big foot off the scale & they’re scratching & clawing to keep things tipped their way. Sorry. People know GOP will only inflict harm. GOP aims to steal OUR social security next

opinion You guys are literally the modern day Völkischer Beobachter.

opinion Traitor arrest him

opinion WSJ: Let GOP cheat and call it fairness. Take your opinions back to Australia, Rupert.

opinion He wants no partisan gerrymanders at all. But if he cant get it he will use it as Rs use it. There fixed it for you.

opinion This guy is a hyper partisan. He was Obama's dirty deal man.

opinion This seems to be a goal for everyone in politics: game the system to *your* advantage, people/constituents be damned.

opinion Wow! what a trash heap wsj has become. This is propaganda. Sad

opinion When has Holder ever acted as a public servant? He has the instincts of a wolf: ever alert to find a fresh kill.

opinion Bull!

opinion No such thing as ‘partisan’ judges. But congrats on including misinformation and contributing to the toxicity of our political discourse.

opinion This is total fabrication

opinion You all continue to slip ever so closer to the abyss.

opinion The WSJ opinion page is full of dishonest far-right content, as usual. You can measure the impact of partisan gerrymanders. It's not vapid opinion, like this piece, but quantifiable. Banning the practice one way bans it both ways under the metrics used.

opinion Says The Republican

opinion BarackObama your goons have no influence
