Raskin: SCOTUS ‘Has Been Gerrymandered’

Ian Hanchett 1 May 2026

On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this week on drawing congressional district maps, “we’re going to have to try to transform the way the Supreme Court has been gerrymandered itself and stacked and packed with MAGA appointees.”

While discussing the court ruling, host Lawrence O’Donnell asked, “Can you envision a future Supreme Court with — dominated by appointees by a Democratic president, reversing this kind of ruling?”

Raskin answered, “Well, perhaps. But the damage is going to be done for a long time. And, obviously, we’re going to have to try to transform the way the Supreme Court has been gerrymandered itself and stacked and packed with MAGA appointees.”

Raskin further argued that Congress should push for legislation on redistricting with redistricting panels in every state, “with multi-member congressional districts, and then mechanisms of proportional representation, like cumulative voting.”

Aww look at you little Jaime, trying to twist perceptions with your ignorant word association.

Every appointment to the court was duly confirmed in the Senate, you're just mad they don't rule by your Marxist dogma.

The SCOTUS is supposed to uphold the Constitution of the United States, not the communist manifesto.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sometimes, it's almost adorable when imbeciles like Raskin use big words they don't understand.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

That doesn't make one iota of sense!

Ironically, gerrymandering comes from the 1812 shenanigans of Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry who backed a redistricting plan favoring his own party, the Democrat-Republicans(later became the Democrat party.)

So Raskin is denouncing his own party, which created the way to legally cheat on the way elections are held to favor a party.
