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 …

How do you know that Garland would have decided the case any differently?

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.

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.
