Biden: Chance of Alito Filibuster Higher

[The Vorlon]

Biden's comments, assuming he actually wrote them himself and didn't plagerize them from some British Labour party staffer, are taking Alito's position wildly out of context.

The Warren Court engaged in some hugely strange racial gerrymandering, creating a number or utterly irrational congressional districts solely for the purpose of ensuring the a specific racial minority would win the seat.

Ironically, these decisions have actually hurt the Democrats in the long run.  The Democratic vote is so massively concentrated in a few districts that often the GOP gets more seats in a state than they would otherwise likely get in a non gerrymandered situation.

For example, in Pennsylvania (somebody check these numbers I may be out by 1 or 2) the GOP has I believe 12 of 19 seats in the House, even though to state as a whole has a mild Dem lead in terms of total vote. - The Dems "waste" a lot of votes by getting massive margins in the Philly seats, while the GOP wins the non city seats by smaller margins...

Florida would be another good example, where racial gerry mandering has packed the Dem vote in Dade, Droward, etc

In one of those comical moments in life, I believe there are a few cases before the court when the GOP is supporting the Warren Court racial gerrymandering, while the Dems oppose it now...

Alito's looking better each time.
