RINO chortles:
"The Second War Among the States has begun!"
Even Ray Charles can see what's coming.
It's not going to be just California -- ALL the blue states are going to go to gerrymandered districts, where it's possible to do so. They'll create either a disproportionate majority of blue districts, or... flat-out steal ALL of them. They'll live with any court fights and won't look back.
Of course, in places like New England they don't even have to bother.
But I can see states like Illinois, etc. moving to wipe out their remaining red districts in whatever way they can.
The only possible response for the Pubbies will be to fight back by doing what Texas has just done -- squeeze every possible blue district out in their respective states.
And if the Supreme Court outlaws that part of the Civil Rights Act that supported the concept of racial gerrymandering... watch out. That's gonna work BOTH ways.
So... when this is over and done... the country will have become even MORE "divided", the red and blue states MORE opposed to one another.
It remains to be seen which side will end up with the greater share of Congressional districts. But no matter which side DOES, it will engender hatred and resentment from the "other side", that the numbers are now stacked against them and numerical (read: peaceful) victories in Congress are no longer possible.
Gettin' closer to "that 1861 moment"...
