WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that partisan e******n maps drawn by North Carolina Republicans and Maryland Democrats are constitutional despite their one-sided nature.

The 5-4 opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by the court's other conservatives said federal courts may not intervene to block partisan gerrymandering.

"We have no commission to allocate political power rand influence in the absence of a constitutional directive or legal standards to guide us in the exercise of such authority," Roberts said.

Associate Justice Elena Kagan decried the ruling on behalf of the court's four liberals. "Of all the times to abandon the court's duty to declare the law, this was not the one," she said. "The practices challenged in these cases imperil our system of government."

The ruling addresses the way e******n districts are redrawn once every decade in most states – a system dominated by political self-interest that has grown more intense every time the Supreme Court declined to tame it.

In other words, because President Trump's two appointments aren't left wing activist judges, they need to go?

If you portsiders are so dead set on changing this country into a one-sided left wing totalitarian regime, you really have your work cut out for you now that we have a real Patriot in the Oval Office.

Wouldn't it be easier if y'all simply relocated to a country that is more suited to your needs, rather than f*** America up for those of us who love our country just the way the founders set it up to be?

Cuba has lovely tropical climate, been there, and I understand Havana's a great resort town these days. And you get "free" health care!

From what you post, maybe Venezuela's just the ticket. Awesome place to go on a dietand the Maduro type of government is exactly what you seem to yearn for. 😁

As the old Norsk folk tale tells us,,, nothing good can come of the right wing criminals..


Once upon a time we had people who worked for justices who worked to maintain our once upon a time of fairness and e******y in our nation.. now with this decision along with citizens united; we are bout done with that wishful idea..

Patriot in the white house?? Who the heck did you find?? someone hiding in the tunnel system?

me leave my country? Heck no.. I would much rather work very hard to remove the right wing evil who are plundering my nation and get all the orange supporters on one single boat headed for Russia.. Maybe capsize the darn thing, but no loss..

While it would be such a great improvement to get rid of those like you who find the orange criminal the best of their fragment of society, most other Americans are not as boisterous as i in declaring the petulance upon our land..

With your fascination with all thing totalitarian, maybe you should pack your bags today and get your stench out of America.. home of the brave and land of the free.. you are not brave and you don`t like free..

Why do you stay and fill the county with the orange cloud your cult exudes..
