Today, the Supreme Court is taking up the issue of gerrymandering. “Redistricting reform is an issue that should be beyond right and left. It’s about right and wrong,” JohnAvlon says in this morning’s RealityCheck.

In what could be one of the most consequential rulings of this term, the justices could, for the first time, establish a standard to decide when politicians go too far in drawing lines for partisan gain, or the court could slam the doors shut on such claims of extreme partisan gerrymandering.

Riggs warns the justices that if they don't step in now, the use of politics will only get worse as map drawers rely increasingly on redistricting software that has become more sophisticated and studies show that the ideological gap between Democrats and Republicans in Congress is larger than ever before.She said that if the Supreme Court rules that the issue must be left for the political branches, the 2016 plan will be the wave of the future.

JohnAvlon Gerrymandering benefits the Republican Party. They did it right after President Obama was elected. If they think that gerrymandering is fair, then flip it on them, redistrict areas so it only benefits Democratic candidates. That’s what I thought...

JohnAvlon Hey CNN. Do your job. Get a picture of RBG. You seem to have a knack for the imaginary. This should be easy.

JohnAvlon Republicans can't win without gerrymandering. And, 5 of the 9 Justices are basically Republicans.

Supreme Court to hear gerrymandering cases against Democrats, RepublicansWhen state legislatures draw the boundary lines for voting districts, the majority party typically comes up with a map designed to keep itself in power. But can that become so blatantly political that it violates the Constitution? Can fake investigations be so blatantly political that is breaks the law? In California one-party system uses underhanded techniques to shift election results. They trick independent voters to sign under the AIP (a different party), harvest ballots, unilaterally change words on approved citizen initiatives to load questions... to name several. Tyranny When Republicans do it, the Left calls it ‘gerrymandering’. But when the Democrats do exactly the same, the Left instead call it “Redistricting”.

Supreme Court won’t hear appeal from company resisting Mueller subpoenaThe foreign-owned corporation faces daily fines for not cooperating with grand jury. I don't get this either. Although I always knew nothing would be done to Trump. The US President is above the law while in office, so folks, elections matter a hell of lot more than you think. Unless he actually commits treason, he is safe from all till he is out. Something seems fishy...if there is still an ongoing legal battle about this, how can the MuellerReport be complete? A day late, a dollar short, no?
