Quack, Quack (UPI) -- A Supreme Court plurality, in a Pennsylvania case that may change the political landscape of the United States, said Wednesday that the courts cannot rule on challenges to political gerrymandering. The decision could affect similar disputes in Texas and elsewhere and is expected to benefit the Republican Party. It could also open the floodgates to politically gerrymandered redistricting wherever one party has firm control of a state legislature. Pennsylvania Democrats had challenged a GOP plan by the Pennsylvania General Assembly that redrew U.S. congressional districts in highly irregular shapes to give Republican candidates an advantage. The Democrats complained that even though their party's candidates may receive more votes statewide, Republican candidates could win significantly more of the state's congressional elections. But a four-justice plurality led by Justice Antonin Scalia ruled that political gerrymandering claims are "non-justiciable" because no standards for judging such claims exist. Hmmm, that's funny a lack of standards seemed to be a problem in the Presidential Election in 2000, yet SOMEHOW Justice Scalia was able to find a solution that benefitted the GOP, and now, when it will benefit the GOP he manages to find the completely opposite way. Who'd have figured.
