The whole gerrymandering quagmire is the result of the most corrupt SCOTUS in our history. Shadow docket rulings without any explanation, overturning past standards on a whim, allowing clearly unconstitutional behavior to stay in place until they issue a ruling in a year or two, a lack of ethical standards, issuing contradictory rulings, and magical logic.
One example of magical logic; if you say you are gerrymandering based on race, it’s bad. But if you do the exact same gerrymandering based on “legislative reasons”, it’s A-OK.
Apparently, the SCOTUS justices who claim to be textualists, are confused by the words our Founding Fathers used when they named one of the legislative bodies the “House of Representatives.”
Gerrymandering is anything but representative.
Couple this with the fact that today’s Republicans know they are unable to win on policy, so they cheat by gerrymandering. Who knew extending tax cuts for billionaires (yes, they were set to expire) but not extending healthcare subsidies for working class Americans would be so unpopular?
Today’s SCOTUS is a cancer that is slowly killing our democratic republic.
