(5,271 posts)I had lost hope of ever being represented by a Democrat in Congress after the redistricting. We used to have Democrats in Congress representing my NC city that is overwhelmingly Democratic until the gerrymandering split the city in half, moving half of us Dems into a rural Repub district while snaking in more Repubs to what was a Democratic district.

(23,155 posts)During the hearing on gerrymandering, all the repugs questions seemed to be pro-gerrymandering. Hope I'm wrong, but
Gorsuch, Alito and Thomas are nothing but rw stooges with Roberts and Kennedy occasionally swinging towards sanity. Since this is about party, I think it's very possible we'll get another 5-4 decision due to repug theft of the seat.
