I get that for Illinois, where there are no laws being abused or defied. That is not the case in NJ and NY, where the legal process was gamed and abused, and the law defied (the NY CD map being utterly outrageous). Where the Pub were in control, and constrained by law, putting aside DeSantis, they respected the law in Florida (with a friendly court to boot), and did pretty well in Ohio. And then there is NC where a Dem court thinks the state copying and pasting of the federal equal protection clause outlaws Pubmanders, which is an abuse of judicial power imo.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to lie, I necessarily don't like the pressure redistricting has put on state courts to essentially conjure up legal theories or flat out go full-hack and just side with their party no matter what. That is not a good way for the judicial system to operate. We shouldn't cheer on hack judges whose rulings are influenced by partisan politics.
Not that many of us haven't done that at times, but when you really think about it outside of the sports-like mentality of elections and redistricting, it's terrible for society.
