Blame the Escalating Gerrymander Wars on Chief Justice John Roberts – Nobody has done more damage to US democracy and voting rights in the 21st Century than this one despicable jurist.

Roberts certainly has let Americans down. History will show this but it’s cold comfort.

But why? I could see if he was a “Seven Mountain Mandate” nut but I don’t think he is.

The problem lies deeper. Everything in America is seen thru the lens of Party Politics. There is no such thing as a judge chosen for judicial skills – the judge is appointed because of their political allegiance. Strange as it seems, their decisions represent their political bias.

Rather than being a form of governance, being in government the USA is comparable to being the winning football team.

Fuck this guy and his family.

But you know, he said the Court only calls “balls and strikes.”

Thank you for voting Bush over Gore and then even reelecting him, over both his opponents stating this is the kind of justice he would put on the court. Every election has consequences.

Gerrymandering is extremely caustic to democracy. It forces parties to move to the extremes. If the seat is safe in the general, it moves the real election to the primary, and in the primaries, whoever can outdo the other is selected.

There is a solution to gerrymandering. Well, two things actually. First we need universal independent redistricting commissions. The 2nd layer is mixed member proportional representation. Double the size of congress with half the seats being local seats representing a district, and the other half being statewide at-large seats. When you vote for a candidate you can also vote for a party for statewide seats. Every party would have a slate of candidates selected in the primaries. Statewide seats would be awarded based on the percentage of vote received and the number of seats won in the local elections. So for example, if party A gets 6 out of 10 seats in the local but only has 50% of the vote, the statewide seats would be awarded to that party until they had 50% of the total seats. Then the next party until there are no seats left to cover a percentage.

This would also work better if the minimum number of seats a state had was 3.

If the democrats get into power, they need to immediately stack the supreme court, and then start hunting down collaborators immediately.

Every ice member. Every republican politician. Every bent lobbyist.

Start at life sentences for a minimum penalty. Be extremely liberal with harsher penalties.

Make Nazis fearful again.

bold statement considering clarence thomas exists.

Gosh it’d be just awful if he went away on a long long vacation never to return again in about 3.5 years.

But trillion dollar corporations are people too and there is no racism, ask Clarence, look at the undeclared swag he attracts!
