Efforts by Republicans to thwart democracy by creating gerrymanders has been aided and abetted by the Supreme Court in Rucho - a case that should stand along side Dobbs and Heller as among the least defensible decisions they have issued. In Georgia, a Federal Court judge ruled that when Georgia Republicans created a partisan gerrymander - nakedly did so in full daylight - that they were within their rights to do so. Based on the Rucho precedent, the judge was probably right. The problem is with Rucho itself.
Frankly, I think the solution is easy. Congress has the right to determine who sits in their chambers. A simple law could make partisan gerrymanders illegal. Until that time, it behooves New York and California to gerrymander the shit out of their districts. California can't and NY was thwarted by the rank stupidity of the NY Democratic establishment.
Anyway, Rucho sucks, the Roberts Court junta sucks so on and so on. Lather, rinse, repeat.
