State gerrymandering led to GOP control of state legislatures and House. GOP Senate holds open Supreme Court seat; that seat now allows gerrymandering to survive, and also means there is no judicial check on GOP state legislatures or GOP president. Quite a system.https://twitter.com/mjs_dc/status/1011248961645170688 …
We can’t know to an epistemological certainty how Garland might have voted. But we do know the vote was 5-4 on ideological lines, and Garland is closer to Kagan/Breyer than Gorsuch/Alito.

Also, the gerrymandering cases were a huge issue when Garland was nominated. Silly to think his position wouldn’t have been vetted.

The ability to predict with confidence how he'd vote on a case he didn't hear suggests that the selling of Garland as a non-ideological moderate was, hmmm, what's the word I'm looking for...?

Nobody ever said Garland was non-ideological. He is a moderate, like Kagan, Breyer, & Kennedy.
