I have seen where SCOTUS is taking up such a case but not where it is a done deal. What are the odds of full fledged gerrymandering making a comeback?

It's only bad if Republican's do it. If Dems do it, it's A-OK.I have seen where SCOTUS is taking up such a case but not where it is a done deal. What are the odds of full fledged gerrymandering making a comeback?

Lots of people would love a Congress that's 97%white.Not true.
Congressional districts should have 4 corners and 4 straight sides.
Gerrymandering is bad no matter who does it.
Gerrymandering provides diversity, but there is a catch-22 here. Obama imported millions of people from hate-America and Hate-Israel countries. One of them has gained office who calls the President inappropriate names, thus violating the separation of Congress from the Executive Branch. The next one like this one who attains high office may use privileges of seeing information that would leave us vulnerable to a 9/11 attack nationwide against utilities, computer systems, flight controllers, location of legislators, justices, and executive office personnel. Coordination used by a party that is not winning due to severe corruption with this kind of a threat is unconscionable as calling the President an MF and decreasing respect for the out-of-power party exponentially.Lots of people would love a Congress that's 97%white.Not true.

Gerrymandering was originally set up to provide economic diversity to a Congress that would otherwise been almost entirely urban / port city representation.
Besides, how many states have 4 straight lines as and 4 right angle corners? 1?

Face it, we need to wake up and smell the coffee.
the various anti-trust investigation proposals, data mining and the growing accusations of national security going partisan political under Obama is getting worse not better.Gerrymandering provides diversity, but there is a catch-22 here.

Gerrymandering isn't the only way Repubs seek to cheat.
NC voter ID law written with ‘discriminatory intent,’ says judge who just blocked it
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article238870598.html
"Racial discrimination was at least part of the motivation for a new voter ID law in North Carolina, a federal judge wrote Tuesday, striking the law down for now.
In a 60-page ruling evoking decades of racism in North Carolina, the judge wrote that parts of the new voter ID law “were impermissibly motivated, at least in part, by discriminatory intent.”
“North Carolina has a sordid history of racial discrimination and voter suppression stretching back to the time of slavery, through the era of Jim Crow, and, crucially, continuing up to the present day,” she wrote.'

It is when either side does it. The majority of the bitching about gerrymandering on this board is about Republicans doing it, but if Dems do it, it's pretty quiet, unless called out on it.Yup they sure are, when Republicans do it is it cheating?

Which political party defines reasonable?Corners/lines within reasonable limits.
Gerrymandering is too open to manipulation.
