Should state legislative districts been drawn by independent commissions?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Congress can draw its own districts. I would suggest that Congress perform redistricting in Maryland.

Okay, I get why you're suggesting Maryland specifically, but, in general, by what imaginable standard does that not create a whole cornucopia of perverse incentives?

Create? The power already exists and has existed for centuries. It merely has not been exercised in the manner I describe.

In anycase, the power to district and redistrict is far less nefarious than the power to gift the treasury to one's supporters, which of course has a limitless cornucopia of perverse incentives attached. The founders wisely warned against the power of the purse for a reason.

This is another one of your posts where none of the sentences has anything to do with any of the others. Maybe you should see a doctor and get that checked out. You might be coming down with something chronic.
