is too much when state legislatures draw the maps for voting districts.
"I don't dispute that extreme partisanship is a real danger in our country," Justice Brett Kavanaugh said."But there's a fair amount of activity going on in the states to deal with it." "I understand it's an extreme case," Chief Justice John Roberts said."But we have to find a rule that will apply to other states" for determining when partisanship is so blatant that it crosses a constitutional line.
Supreme Court will do nothing that goes against Republicans. Watch and learn.
Liberal news BS!!! anything the democrats feel is any kind of disadvantage they will declare gerrymandering, as they want the tables to always be in their favor - that's why they want to get rid of the Electoral College... which is mandated by the US Constitution!!!
Huge mistake. I thought that the right to vote is the crowning jewel of a democracy. Apparently free and fair elections are instead a competition to see who can cheat the most efficiently.
Isn’t this the Fox guarding the chickens? Dems in charge? Fix it for democrats to win. GOP in charge, same thing. I’m moving to New Zealand.
Partisan gerrymandering is election fraud by another name
What a fucking surprise!
maybe congress should do their jobs and put forth legislation that ensures our election systems and processes are fair...crazy I know but a man can hope!
So the state governments that are in power through gerrymandering get to decide how to deal with gerrymandering. There's something about this approach that's troubling... can't quite put my finger on it /sarcasm
Whole lotta punting lately
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
its almost as if denying people fair representation isn't a big deal....

Opinion | Republicans keep pushing the Supreme Court toward overturning Roe v. WadeOpinion: Republicans keep pushing the Supreme Court towards overturning Roe They know perfectly well that depriving women of life, liberty and the ability to have control of their futures will be unpopular once red-state women realize that they are being sold on the idea that sexual slavery is a Republican policy. I hope they at least ban abortion after 12 weeks. Abortion is murder.

Supreme Court to hear gerrymandering cases against Democrats, RepublicansWhen state legislatures draw the boundary lines for voting districts, the majority party typically comes up with a map designed to keep itself in power. But can that become so blatantly political that it violates the Constitution? Can fake investigations be so blatantly political that is breaks the law? In California one-party system uses underhanded techniques to shift election results. They trick independent voters to sign under the AIP (a different party), harvest ballots, unilaterally change words on approved citizen initiatives to load questions... to name several. Tyranny When Republicans do it, the Left calls it ‘gerrymandering’. But when the Democrats do exactly the same, the Left instead call it “Redistricting”.

Supreme Court weighs crackdown on gerrymanderingWith Kennedy replaced on the bench by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, most experts agree new limits on gerrymandering are no more likely this time around Shame to be honest. Gerrymandering is a real problem that both parties should be concerned about dinjup27 In what world could the SCOTUS rule in favor of gerrymandering? This is likely naive - but I hold out hope that Roberts' conscience won't let him sell democracy down the river when push comes to shove.

Supreme Court won’t hear appeal from company resisting Mueller subpoenaThe foreign-owned corporation faces daily fines for not cooperating with grand jury. I don't get this either. Although I always knew nothing would be done to Trump. The US President is above the law while in office, so folks, elections matter a hell of lot more than you think. Unless he actually commits treason, he is safe from all till he is out. Something seems fishy...if there is still an ongoing legal battle about this, how can the MuellerReport be complete? A day late, a dollar short, no?

A familiar Supreme Court pattern as justices review extreme partisan gerrymanderingLiberal justices think it is a threat, and conservatives wonder whether courts have a role in policing it. Hmm. the Maryland gerrymander was done by Democrats so that one will be unconstitutional. The North Carolina gerrymander was done by Republicans so that one will be constitutional. They will be allowed eleven of ten districts. I hate this court, truly, truly hate this court. What is 'extreme gerrymandering'? Gerrymandering itself is not democracy

Supreme Court conservatives question challenges of partisan gerrymanderingConservative justices suggested on Tuesday that the Supreme Court should not get involved in fights over the use of politics to draw congressional district lines Ummm ... isn't that one of the reasons they are there in the first place? 🙄 - 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking', 'thinking'... Why, of course not! Then these 'conservatives' can cheat to their heart's content.

Hogan, Schwarzenegger urge Supreme Court to act on partisan gerrymanderingMaryland’s Republican governor, mulling a White House run, vocally opposes his state’s redistricting system. That'd be an interesting ticket to primary Trump. Larry Hogan is the only Republican governor who is worthy of respect unlike the rest of the spineless sellouts and charlatans in today's GOP. Hulk?
