The Supreme Court Is Set to Determine if GOP Extremists Will Hold America Hostage for Years to Come @alternet: Ending partisan gerrymandering could restore the country's political sanity. On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear one of the most politically consequential cases in years—whether partisan gerrymandering, or having elected politicians choose which voters do and don’t cast ballots in specific U.S. House and state legislative elections, is constitutional.If you want to know why the GOP has not just controlled the House but has super-majorities in states that should be politically purple, such as North Carolina and Georgia, the answer is extreme partisan gerrymandering.
