Supreme Court Backs Arizona's Redistricting Commission Targeting Gridlock : The Two-Way : NPR

By a 5-4 majority, the Supreme Court has decided that "the voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around". Guess who were the four dissenting justices. It's not difficult.

They're on a roll. Well, a majority of them are on a roll. The others are choking on their bitter tears, which is perfectly fine with me.

At this point I have no idea what the hell you mean by 'politics' because in every sane understanding of the idea 'institutions which are part of the public administration' are definitely political.

No, they're governmental.

No, because they aren't involved in running the government.

Nor are judges. Stop being silly.
