On November 17, the Arizona Supreme Court took jurisdiction in the lawsuit filed by the Chair of the Redistricting Commission, Colleen Mathis, and simultaneously reinstated her. Governor Jan Brewer had removed her, after the commission issued new districts for U.S. House that Republicans felt weren’t favorable to them. The Arizona Redistricting Commission has five members: two Republicans, two Democrats, and one independent. Mathis is the independent member. Here is the 2-page court order. The case is Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission v Brewer, cv-11-0313. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link. Here is a news story, which includes the Governor’s reaction.

ALL district SCHEMES = automatic minority rule — regardless of the SCOTUS math morons.
1/2 votes x 1/2 gerrymander districts = 1/4 total.
Who is more math stupid — SCOTUS or the media — or perhaps a tie ???
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V. — before it is too late.
The top robot party hack monsters are setting the stage for Civil W-A-R II — long in coming since 1789/1865.
The 1860 gerrymanders got about 620,000 men killed in 1861-1865 – with multi-multi-thousands maimed for life.
Meant NOTHING to the winning gerrymander robot party hacks — who kept the gerrymanders going and going.
1/4 total = 1/4 CONTROL indirectly.
more like about 1/10 due to extremist primary math – in party hack primary regimes.
