So the Democrats have decided they don't like gerrymandering now that they've lost so many state legislatures. I don't remember them complaining when they were able to do it. North Carolina should be interesting.

Hypocrisy is the trademark of the liberal ideology.

Actually what should be interesting is the next time Democrats get to draw a state map anywhere. If Republicans are not immediately on it, challenging it on equal protection, then they'd be stupid. Sometimes they are stupid.
I really don't see how any federal judge has the authority to rule that something was the wrong political decision. They certainly do not have the authority to tell us that we cannot have elections.

The article describing the NC case said it was “unconstitutional gerrymandering.” I don’t recall the Constitution caring about the districts, beyond apportioning electors by “numbers” of persons (14th Amendment)
In fact, the 10th Amendment should guarantee that the state’s can do whatever the fuck they want in terms of apportioning districts, as long as it meets the number requirement.

Wait, I missed something on that - was it the feds or the state court saying it was unconstitutional? US constitution versus state constitution is my question...
