Both parties do it. As Pocahontas said last night, "we are a democracy" (we are a Constitional Republic, actually but I digress) and the majority rules, right? Win more elections, dems and you can gerrymander as much as you want.
I agree with Rigged....yep...I agree with Rigged.
Gerrymandering, while in my opinion is wrong, is part of our political system and has been for generations. I think a better policy would be to organize districts by county, city or neighborhood boundaries.

By the way. This is not a full-on win for the GOP. The SCOTUS decisions also means that states which do not allow gerrymandering, and/or have redrawn gerrymander districts, remain as they are. If a State court throws out gerrymandering the SCOTUS cannot be involved ... at least that's what Roberts said. Let's see if Roberts decides to take on the issue in the future because too many states have squashed gerrymandered districts.
