I responded to GOP gerrymandering with my own, but I hope the Supreme Court ends partisan redistricting. It's polarizing Congress and America.
The Supreme Court is now considering challenges from two states on how we draw congressional districts: a Wisconsin map drawn by a Republican governor, and a Maryland map drawn by a Democratic governor — me.
We have historically allowed a partisan motive in redrawing these borders every 10 years to account for population growth and shifts. But now, at a time of deep division and polarization in our national politics, the court is re-examining that. It could end up reining in or maybe even disallowing partisan motives in redistricting.
For the sake of our democracy, I sincerely hope that's what the court does.
I was a re-elected governor of Maryland in 2010 on the eve of national redistricting. It was not a good year for Democrats. We lost governor’s races in quite a few states where Democratic voters actually outnumbered Republicans.

Leave him alone. The poor guy can't get a job even after all those years he lined othe people's pockets. He's simply not likeable.
I'm so sick of all the parroting wolves and their "DEMOCRACY".
I think it is actually called "Dumbocracy", because of all the dumb people that believe there is such a real thing in America.
