I'm very interested in this one:
Of the people, by the people? Or by the elected people?
Quote:Politicians and redistricting
The court will decide whether the voters or politicians can set the election districts for members of Congress. At least once a decade, new census data prompt states to redraw their districts. Party leaders can use this power to draw safe seats for their members. Upset by gerrymandering, voters in Arizona and California opted to create an independent commission to draw congressional districts. Arizona's Republican legislators want the Supreme Court to strike down these commissions and rule the Constitution reserves this power for "the legislature." The case of Arizona State Legislature vs. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission was heard in March.
Of the people, by the people? Or by the elected people?

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
