Being
our semi-regular weekly survey of what’s goin’ down in the several
states where, as we know, the real work of governmentin’ gets done and
where you’re searching for the very souls whom already have been sold.
The
predominant issue out in several states right now involves the
incredible campaign of the Republicans in Pennsylvania to maintain the
ludicrously gerrymandered map they produced in their state legislature.
(In the last election, the Democratic candidates piled up more votes,
but the Republicans won 13 of the 18 legislative seats. This is the very
living definition of a partisan gerrymander.)
The
state’s supreme court threw out the original map and gave the
Republican legislature a chance to create a more equitable one. The
Republicans produced another dead fish and the court threw that one out,
too, and then drew up their own. That sent the Republicans up the wall.
At the present moment, there is a serious movement to impeach the justices of the Supreme Court who have proven so inconvenient.
