As a Hoosier, I hope that the rejection of the redistricting was because even most Indiana Republicans play fair. However it might also be that they realize that they have a better chance of surviving with the old maps.

I have spent over 45 years in the Libertarian Party opposing governmental overreach. It has been heart breaking to discover how many people I had considered friends and allies for decades turned out to only oppose overreach by the left.

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Weaponize the levers of government for partisan political gain. Pressure privately owned media companies to toe the party line. Punish the owners that resist and reward the ones that acquiesce.

I really feel for Con Law profs. How are you supposed to teach anything based on principle? What exactly can you say about the Court ignoring 90-year old precedent with an opposite ruling on the shadow docket with no explanation? How can you do or teach any common law reasoning about Con Law now?

In the 70's I met German relatives who stayed in Germany during the war. I was told,"If you weren't Jewish and you didn't break the law, the Gestapo never bothered you". History does not repeat, it rhymes.
