NOOO!

TOPOLOGY/ANALYSIS 2016! A mug's a donut! And a set is closed if its complement is open! And it can be open and closed at the same time! This is a winning team!

Sounds like a flip-flopper to me.

To be fair algebra has rarely been constant either.

I'm just wondering what topography is plotting that makes it want this office.

He's fairly one-dimensional, at least in most areas.

[Nadaka]

But what if he is irrational or has imaginary friends? Will you root for the square?

Hey, at least you know algebra is real.  Algebra isn't too complex for the average voter either.

[RedKing]

And it's sneaky too. Always hiding behind things like "x". Why can't you just tell us what the answer is, algebra? What are you hiding?

You haven't met many average voters, have you? "Fill in the circle next to the candidate of your choice" is too difficult for more than a few.

At the end of the day, the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land and their word is Law, state power notwithstanding.

Their interpretation is Law. But they can't make laws, and it would be hard to argue the Supreme Court would ever rule on this to begin with - what law does the current situation clash with, that they could pass down some sort of directive? I honestly don't know.

The intentional subversion of the democratic process outlined in the Constitution for the purpose of partisan political gain.

Not to mention that the SC has already decided (League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry, 548 U.S. 399) that state legislatures can redistrict whenever and however the hell they want to, as long as no racial minority is demonstrably harmed and the state redistricts at least once every ten years. They can redistrict every month if they felt like it.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That would seem to be a point in my court, since it shows the SC is willing to rule on this subject. They've reversed themselves before. Hell, they've reversed themselves on pretty much everything over the years.

[RedKing]

Considering that decision was a majority liberal opinion (Scalia and Thomas were the dissenters) upholding a map drawn by Tom fuckin' DeLay, I don't see them reversing anything anytime soon. Both parties benefit from it, so their appointees are unlikely to reverse it.

I think it's interesting that the census-year elections have become some of the most hotly contested ones at the state level. Parties pour shitloads of money into the state legislature races in 2000, 2010 etc. because they know whoever wins the legislature in a state will control the redistricting and thus be able to solidify their party's advantages (and erode those of their opponent) at the Congressional level.

What the hell is with algebra, man? Always asking me to find its x. No, I won't find your x, and I won't tell you y it left you, either.

z is running the table on the whole campaign.
