But they had no choice since a black-robed Democrat tyrant demanded that Louisiana gerrymander another Democrat district.

This officially the GOP -2 in the House going into November (this, plus Alabama). They *may* get +3 in North Carolina. They *will* get something like -4 in New York. And other judicial gerrymanders to help Democrats are possible (Wisconsin especially).
