    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Aaron Belkin

    In the real world, the Court stuck with longstanding precedent on gerrymandering (a practice that has far more often favored Democrats), left most of the Voting Rights Act intact, & left Congress free to re-enact the rest if it did its homework. But that's not the narrative.https://twitter.com/AaronBelkin/status/1310674048955723777 …

    Dan McLaughlin added,

    Aaron Belkin @AaronBelkin
    SCOTUS dismantled Voting Rights Act & campaign finance limits & OK'd gerrymandering bc rigging helps GOP win. SCOTUS won't, for that reason, tolerate un-rigging of democracy, and won't allow HR1 & John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to survive https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/09/28/how-minority-rule-problem-could-get-much-worse/ …

        And I’d love if they could see that like bush v gore, the actual legal reasoning of citizens United was a much bigger majority than the 5-4 remedy makes it appear

        Replying to @sgremminger

        As recently as 2009, Democrats had 15 more House seats than if they had their proportionate share of the national House vote. That's not all gerrymandering, some of it's the nature of WTA elections, but they still had an edge, w/o that edge, no Obamacare.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        In the real world, Congress is not a single entity, but is made up of two chambers, which are often opposed to one another; and if there was no Constitutional reason it could not be re-enacted, then there was no Constitutional reason to dismantle *any* of the Voting Rights Act.

        North Carolina 2018... “In Congressional races, the divide was more stark than at the state level. Despite winning fewer than half of the total votes cast, Republicans won 10 of North Carolina's 13 Congressional seats.”

        Does the Congressional Black Caucus oppose gerrymandering, or do they like having more members from majority-minority districts?

        SCOTUS decided it had no legal framework from which to proceed. That's different from sticking with precedent. They didn't agree with it, but had no way to define fixing it.
