Gerrymandering legal again, a done deal, Fake News?

[william the wie]

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.

Every state gerrymanders for every election. Always have.

How were you thinking Congressional districts were drawn?

 

[beautress]

The last bout of gerrymandering brought us a person who colludes with enemies of the state, promotes ISIS, leading a national pox on Jewish Americans, and calling the President an MF. The Party that supports her pushes chaos. And the American Way has flipflopped from everyone being equal to punitive measures against Christian people and Christian churches.

Law professors and Lawyers are increasingly becoming corrupted by the thinking Cabal tactics are necessary to change America to being like everyone in the world that our founders escaped from by coming to America.

It's becoming more and more clear that if we want to maintain freedom, we're going to have to fight interlopers disguised as "politically damaged by foreign governments." The actuality is they are bringing repugnant practices into necessity to get them off our backs. They're creating inside America tactical practices of the countries they allege hurt them, because they know nothing else by doctrine that seems embedded in dna that hates all Judeo-Christians.

Enough.

Not true.

Congressional districts should have 4 corners and 4 straight sides.

Gerrymandering is bad no matter who does it.

Lots of people would love a Congress that's 97%white.

Gerrymandering provides diversity.

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?

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.'

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.

Face it, we need to wake up and smell the coffee.

The real problem isn't gerrymandering, its politicians.

No system can overcome that.

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.

Corners/lines within reasonable limits.

Gerrymandering is too open to manipulation.

You make it sound like Republicans are the only ones who do it. Maryland is the second worst gerrymandered state (after NC) in the country and democrats have been embedded here for decades. Both parties do it and it should stop. It’s all about power and control and has ZERO to do with representation. It’s a census year for Virginia, wanna make a bet whether it gets heavily gerrymandered by democrats to keep them in control, now that they’re firmly in control.

Yup they sure are, when Republicans do it is it cheating?

 

[Dreadnaught1968]

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.

Nope, it is always wrong and pathetic.

Gerrymandering is too open to manipulation.

Which political party defines reasonable?

One could easily write one of millions of computer programs that group people in equally populated sections. And each program would favor one party differently than the others, so some political party would pick the program to their liking.

But that still would remove much of the diversity of ideas, strengths, and needs from the Congress.

I could do with morons like Mad Maxine, Brickhead Lewis and Guam Johnson being in Congress, but overall gerrymandering is better than anything else.
