It's a hellava lot better than the gerrymandered districts in Maryland.

You know.

The one where no Republican can ever stand a chance at winning.

The one where my neighbors across the street are in a different district than I am.

The one where the Democrat Mayor admitted was gerrymandered to ensure only Democrats would be elected.

The one where the courts are in the process of hearing a case.

Seems this one is more neutral.

Its just as wrong when its Democrats doing it. Luckily the U.S. Supreme Court will hear that case, along with the Wisconsin case where the GOP openly admitted that their gerrymandering was done for political purposes.

I am sick of gerrymandering being done by both sides.

Why is the judicial system involved in politics?
Why do you say it's politics?

The Current PA High Court is 6D's and 2 DOPers at this time.
And seems to 3 Women now, which is wrong. Needs to be 4-4 Male /Female.
Open to LGBT

Not politics- elections.

The State Supreme Court was enforcing the State Constitution.

Why are you against State's rights?
Not politics, elections?
Again, why has the judicial system inserted itself into politics?

Where these always go to settle Dem vs DOPer thangs.
Do you recall the GOP SCOTUS win for Dubya?
btw:
"""""The Democratic-majority state Supreme Court ruled last month in a party-line decision that the district boundaries unconstitutionally put partisan interests above neutral line-drawing criteria, such as keeping districts compact and eliminating municipal and county divisions.
The decision is the first time a state court threw out congressional boundaries in a partisan gerrymandering case and handed a victory to the group of registered Democratic voters who sued last June in a lawsuit backed by the League of Women Voters."""""

Sorry, I don't remember the SCOTUS doing anything but interpreting laws, not creating political seats for any particular political party.

What does this have to do with state's rights? I have a lot of friends in PA who have been discussing this issue on social media and what they are saying is that the court illegally seized power by doing this, that redistricting lies solely with the legislature and the state SCOTUS has no right to intervene. I'm obviously no expert on Pennsylvania law, but if that is true then it is very concerning that the judicial branch is attempting a major power grab. It also needs to be pointed out that this decision was handed down by a 5-4 vote, in which the five justices in the majority are Democrats, so it has the appearance of being very partisan decision.

That said, I do like the new map. Gerrymandering needs to stop altogether, but we cannot allow the courts to engage in judicial fiat.

Republicans have already signaled they will likely file a federal lawsuit challenging the state Supreme Court’s map. They argue that only lawmakers and the governor can draw congressional lines, not courts. The lawmakers made a similar argument in a request to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the argument was rejected by Justice Samuel Alito.
