This Supreme Court Case Could Radically Reshape Politics

[NPR] Keith Gaddie has "hung up his spurs."

The election expert from the University of Oklahoma no longer helps state legislatures draw new district lines to maximize their partisan advantage.

He was still wearing those spurs back in 2011 when he provided data that helped Wisconsin Republicans enact a legislative redistricting plan aimed at maximizing their power for the foreseeable future.

But now he's reversed course and filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that the practice is undemocratic.

The high court hears arguments Tuesday testing whether extreme partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional. The case from Wisconsin has the potential to radically reorder politics in America.

#1 Now that there are no longer a majority of Dem govs and legislatures, gerrymandering is a problem.

The surest way to get rid of any leftist rule/regulation/practice is to stringently apply them to libs.

Something that the "that is not who we are" Troo Cons never seem to get.
