Very interesting article, NKat. Where did you get it?
I had no idea that American Indians owned black slaves.

The point I was making is that all this reverence for the "Founding Fathers" and the Constitution is based on an extremely white washed version of American History that we were all taught in school.

TT just letting you know that more than the white people were involved. I never said what was done was okey. Was shocked that the blacks and Indians had slaves. Dh told me this and I did not believe him.

Well, lets hope their recent appointee has a bit more integrity than they counted on and isn't quite the tool they expected. It's happened before

The Republicans know they are going to win this fight in the end. Because they control the US Supreme court by a 5-4 margin. All they have to do is stall until the Supreme court rules in their favor, which it will. As of this morning, the US Supreme Court is allowing a revamp of Pennsylvania electoral map.

Wow!.
Glad I hedged my bets and only gave the Republicans a 95% chance of winning instead of 100%.

That should be no problem. It really would be a fairly easy task if you do it straight up fair and unbiased. What makes it complicated and time consuming is figuring out devious ways to cheat.

They'll go over the deadline and then they will probably be back in court. See how much trust I have in the GOP?!

Drifter, you're a wise woman not to trust the GOP! I believe their goal is to screw around long enough that any restricting won't affect the 2018 elections. I hope the courts hold their feet to the fire in this.

Did they make the deadline? No, not yet. Now, State Rep. Cris Dush circulated a letter to House colleagues Monday urging the ouster of five justices who ruled that the legislature must redraw Pennsylvania's gerrymandered maps.
