The Court Cannot Hear Gerrymandering in Maryland

Maryland's partisan gerrymandering insured seven out of eight house seats to Democrats in Maryland's elections from 2012 to 2018, even though Democrats never got more than 65% of the statewide vote there. The underlying legal question in this case is whether purposeful g Gerrymandering to benefit one political party is unconstitutional. So what the court holds here in a five, four opinion authored by your boy, John Roberts, is that the court cannot hear this issue. And therefore, complaints of partisan gerryMandering must be dismissed by courts because according to Roberts, this is a political question that courts cannot address.
