Hogan, Schwarzenegger rail against gerrymandering as Supreme Court hears arguments

By Jennifer Barrios Jennifer Barrios Reporter covering Montgomery County government and politics Email Bio Follow March 26 at 3:02 PM Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to act on partisan gerrymandering, calling the matter “one of the most important issues in America today.”

“We’re hopeful the court will take action,” Hogan said, adding that he heard “compelling” arguments from both sides in a session that lasted more than two hours. “Taking action will make a tremendous difference in what the politics of our nation look like.” Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, left, and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, center, wait for their turn to speak at an anti-gerrymandering rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday. “This is not a fight between the right and the left — this is a fight between right and wrong,” Hogan told the crowd, many of whom were bundled up against the brisk weather and carrying red, white and blue signs reading “Fair Maps” and “End Gerrymandering Now.

California voters approved creating an independent redistricting commission for their state in 2008, while Schwarzenegger was in office.

Hogan doesn’t like that he can’t go full RWNJ because of veto-proof majorities in Maryland’s state government.

So what happens to California? The entire Socialist state is a Demokkkrat gerrymandered system.

Hulk?

Larry Hogan is the only Republican governor who is worthy of respect unlike the rest of the spineless sellouts and charlatans in today's GOP.

That'd be an interesting ticket to primary Trump.
