The legislature could not come up with a map. When the lawmakers can’t do their job. The Supreme Court steps in. Happens with many issues.

That is factually false. The legislature did indeed come up with a map. The governor didn't like it so the Court substituted their own map - highly questionable they had the authority to do such a thing - especially since they didn't even consider whether the new map the legislature implemented was constitutional simply because the governor didn't like it.

Naps is a liar with a history on FR.

Like most progtards he has no idea what he's talking about, believing--laughably--that the Courts get to "step in when legislatures" don't "do their jobs."

First his claim is simply a lie. The legislature did draw a map. He and the other progtards didn't like it.

Second, when a legislature doesn't "do its job" the result is: nothing happens. Because in a lawful society, there is a separation of powers, and other branches of government don't get to usurp authority from each other when they're unsatisfied with the results.

That's the job of voters. NOT courts.
