Donald J. Trump? Verified account @realDonaldTrump
Hope Republicans in the Great State of Pennsylvania challenge the new pushed Congressional Map, all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. Your Original was correct! Dont let the Dems take elections away from you so that they can raise taxes & waste money!

(58,717 posts)1. IIRC, the USSC refused to see the Repub challenge to the court ruling...
leading to issuing this map. Good luck with that.

If Trump lasts that long to run for re-election that is.

(44,130 posts)4. LOL! Waste money, says the guy who golfs every weekend and makes money courtesy
of the taxpayers. He's a hoot, that's what he is.
Orange Free State
(611 posts)5. So everyone but Trump knows...
...that the US Supreme Court has already declined to hear the case, which was decided by the Pa. Supreme Court, on the Pa. state constitution only. There is a provision in there that says that a political entity should be divided as little as possible, and to balance the populations in the congressional districts. That was clearly ignored, and the Repukess original map was found to be unconstitutional.
What next, will Trump hole up in the basement of Mar-a-Lago, ordering imaginary armies around as (metaphorically) Muellers tanks circle and close in?
