Blacks account for 13% of the population. To be fare and equitable, blacks should not make up any more than 15% of ANY congressional district.

<>Unchallenged in this case is the requirement that districts have equal population, which the Supreme Court mandated in Reynolds v. Sims in 1964.<>

The Reynolds one man one vote was a horrible decision enabled by the 17th Amendment.

Progressing the Constitution: One Man One Vote II.

But as I and others have argued, gerrymandering has contributed only marginally to Republican success. More important is demographic clustering. Democratic voters are heavily clustered in central cities, sympathetic suburbs, and university towns, while Republican voters are more evenly spread around.

Exactly. And it's only natural they should have their own districts and not infect those with a majority of normal people.

These filthy rats are in fact asking for court ordered gerrymandering, to have democrat tentacles poking into Republican districts. Filthy bastards.

The solution to gerrymandering is gerrymandering.

Got it!

In other words, they want the state lines to look as meshugga as Illinois and Maryland.

Republican gerrymandering = Bad.

Democrap gerrymandering = Good.

It looks like a map of Mars, or is it the Moon? :-)

Wikipedia Sheila Jackson Lee page

In 1997, while on a trip to the Mars Pathfinder operations center in California, Jackson Lee confused the planet Mars with Earth’s own moon, asking whether the Pathfinder had succeeded in taking a picture of the flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969.[41][42]
