ABA - Ya hafta trust somebody.
Basically, the legal society of the USA recognize the Robert's Court as corruptive of the Rule of Law. You have to know if the Supreme Court isn't demanding ethical treatment of the political mechanisms that protect the USA Constitution, they are corrupt to the core.
The Supreme Court has sanctioned PARTISAN gerrymandering. Got that? Let's review that one time.

The Supreme Court has sanctioned PARTISAN gerrymandering.
Yep. It is called corruption.
Since the Supreme Court has decided gerrymandering, currently called redistricting is the way political advantages are won in the USA, it is time for all Democratic Governors to get down and dirty. Sorry, but, there is no real ethical way to play fair anymore.
The Supreme Court, Gerrymandering, and the Rule of Law (click here)
SummaryJump to:
Although the U.S. Supreme Court has undermined the rule of law in a whole variety of areas, its treatment of partisan gerrymandering is arguably the most destructive. The reason is that gerrymandering is the one area of the law where the Court itself acknowledges that state and local officials are regularly violating the Constitution, but it has refused to allow any federal judicial remedy. And it has done that based solely on the highly debatable suggestion that it is just too difficult to establish standards for separating lawful from unlawful conduct. The Court created this problem by ruling, in Rucho v. Common Cause in 2019, that any federal constitutional challenge to a district map, based on the theory that it is a partisan gerrymander, presents a non-justiciable “political question.” As a result, in this one field, there is literally no “rule of law” because the Constitution can be violated with no consequences.
A partisan gerrymander is a district map—for Congress, or for a state legislature, county commission, and the like—that is intentionally designed to enhance the power of one political party at the expense of the other, regardless of how the people of the jurisdiction may choose to vote in a given election. This is a uniquely American problem because we are the only democracy in the world with two features—(1) the use of single-member “first past the post” districts (an inheritance from the British), and (2) systems that allow partisan legislators to draw the maps that we use (in most states). In other countries, if districts are used, they are drawn by non-partisan officials. And in most of the world’s democracies, there are mechanisms to ensure that seats in the legislative body are proportional to the votes cast by the people....
There was a time when gerrymandering was a bad word.
Redistricting has now become a survival of this democracy.
Efforts to redraw (click here) U.S. House districts for partisan advantage are spreading to more states ahead of next year’s elections.
Lawmakers in three states have approved new congressional districts since President Donald Trump began pushing for mid-decade redistricting.
The trend began in Texas, where the Republican-led Legislature passed a plan backed by Trump. California Democrats responded with their own map to help their party, though it still requires voter approval. On Sunday, Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed a revised congressional map into law.
Redistricting typically occurs once a decade, immediately after a census. But in some states, there is no prohibition on a mid-cycle map makeover. The U.S. Supreme Court also has said there is no federal prohibition on political gerrymandering, in which districts are intentionally drawn to one party’s advantage.
Nationally, Democrats need to gain three seats next year to take control of the House. The party of the president typically loses seats in the midterm congressional elections.
Here is a rundown of what states are doing:...
The six Supreme Court politicos have corrupted decency.
...Tony Campos died in 2023, (click here) the year before his case was overturned and two years before the Texas Legislature cited that new court precedent as Republicans positioned themselves to grab as many as five new seats.
“It was painful to see my dad’s name in the news, for the wrong reasons,” said Marc, a longtime political consultant for Houston-area Democrats. “He was having memory issues the last few years, but he always remembered that suit.”
Forty miles away, Mark Henry watched the same proceedings and saw a very different story. As Galveston County judge, Henry helped overturn Campos’ ruling, getting the same court to approve of his dismantling of the county’s one majority non-white district, and rule that “coalition districts” couldn’t be allowed as a remedy to discriminatory maps.
This sharp reversal of four decades of court precedent was a seismic shift in voting rights, as celebrated in conservative legal circles as it was vilified in liberal ones. It will now be harder to challenge new voting maps in court, especially in multiracial urban areas where no one racial group dominates, and opens the door to redraw diverse, Democratic-leaning districts previously sanctioned by the courts....
