Gerrymandering: We are given reason to hope

Posted on June 23, 2018 by Naomi

OK, the Supreme Court Gill decision would have sunk me into the earth if I weren’t already there, given all the horrors surrounding us nowadays.

And I was so, so crossing all my fingers and toes that Kennedy would determine Gill in favor of the plaintiffs, i.e., against political gerrymandering.

Nah.

But today I picked up this knowledgeable essay on the meaning of Gill and the related Maryland case, from the always erudite and inspiring Brennan Center.

The short of it: all is not lost! Indeed, much may have been found.

So I’m feeling a bit hopeful. And planning for June 30, probably in New York down at Foley Square, continguous (or overlapping) Tom Paine Park.
