Pennsylvania Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Stay Redistricting Order from State Supreme Court — 7 Comments

  1. Little chance of getting stay. Five Justices ruled in Arizona case that Legislature does not have exclusive role in congressional districting. Doubt one of those (Kennedy would be most likely) will be peeled off in this case.

  2. DARK AGE Gerrymander math — for genius lawyers (and even normal citizens) —

    1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged packed/cracked gerrymander districts = 1/4 or less CONTROL = OLIGARCHY.

    Much, much, much worse primary math – esp. in plurality winner robot party hack primaries – about 45 States.

    NO primaries

    PR and AppV

  3. In the Arizona case, the court ruled that “the legislature” included legislation by initiative. The initiative in Arizona prescribed that the manner of election for Representatives be by districts drawn by the redistricting commission.

    In other cases, the SCOTUS has ruled that the “legislature” encompasses a veto of redistricting laws passed by the legislature.

    In this case, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is saying that under their general authority to ensure that statutes comply with a novel interpretation of the Pennsylvania Constitution, that they will legislate from the bench, even though they have not yet had an opportunity to write an opinion.

  4. Perhaps a New Age TYRANNY regime in PA —

    ALL hacks have ALL legi/ exec/ judic powers — ALL tyrants — ALL the time ???

  5. Software is also out there on CD where the consumer inserts the disk into
    the tough drive and follows the set up instructions. https://math-problem-solver.com/ .
    By successfully eliminating the numbers you’ll keep away from, you’re upping your probabilities of profitable
    exponentially.
