Corralling all the scum in a few districts is not “bizarre”. Harriburg and Allentown are full of scum who belong together.
Hey! Thanks, Dude! Didn’t realize I was considered scum!
The Democrat cities of Harrisburg and Allentown were not combined into a RAT vote sink in either the 2012 GOP redistricting plan or the 2018 GOP proposal. It would be stupid for the GOP to have done so, since there is so much GOP turf in between those two cities.
The judges will now appoint a “special master” to draw a Democrat gerrymander, far more partisan than the 2018 GOP proposal, and will certify the map. Hopefully, President Trump will get to replace Kennedy or Ginsburg in the next few years and, at that point, the PA legislature can sue in federal court to reclaim its right under the U.S. Constitution to draw congressional districts; SCOTUS shamefully ruled in the Arizona case from two years ago that the word “legislature” in the Constitution could mean voter initiatives or other things that are not the state legislature, but it was a 5-4 vote with Kennedy joining the liberals, so we can get that reversed if Kennedy or Ginsburg get replaced by a conservative who knows how to read.
