So they upheld the Constitution? Good! The federal government is limited to whatever powers the Constitution gives it. Beyond that, its up to the state. Correct call. It can be fought out in the state legislatures and courts where it is supposed to happen.

This is what happens when you replace judges with activists.

FWIW I think SCOTUSblog is the best source for all these rulings.

With any luck, Ginsberg will croak or retire and that will be one less activist judge.

Most will see this as a victory for Republicans. It sort of is. But it sort of isn't.

It's new and hot so there's not a lot to work with here

You've got it totally backwards.

As usual.

It looks like B. Franklin was correct and saw the future. The Chief Justice of the United States and four others have continued in their quest to shrink down democracy to the level it can be drowned in a bath tub.

They might as well have gone the full monty, and joined with Russia to end this great experiment in self government.

How do y'all feel about one party government, like China and Russia?

One party government. You mean what the pundits, MSM and DNC were hoping for when prior to the 2016 election they kept crowing about how the Republican party was in its death throes and would become a dying regional party? The hope and expectation was permanent DNC rule across the board. That kind one party government like China and Russia? The "socialist" Dems have far more in common with those governments.

How can you tell with your head up your ass so far?

Federalism is a lovely thing. Again, it goes to the states, as it should. The idea is that we are to be informed citizens. If we don't like gerrymandering, we should see that none of our local, state or nationally-elected officials approve of it.

But we're too lazy for that of course. So we expect the Court to solve all the problems we can't be bothered to solve....

BULLSHIT ^^^! Echoing Socialism and using it as a pejorative discredits your post. Fear mongering, hate mongering and attacks on Democrats, the Major Daily Newspapers and MSM Broadcasters have been on going since Gingrich moved from the back bench and Limbaugh began his drive by rhetoric on the press.

And people like you, easily led by demagogues and charlatans continue to claim "fake news" when anything printed or broadcast violates your biases.

The very foundation of our federal republic is the dominance of states. This ruling reaffirms that it's up to state legislatures to determine how and where Congressional District lines are drawn.

A great win for our freedoms. Tells federal judges to butt out.
