General Discussion

Texas is, with the encouragement of Trump, making no bones about gerrymandering, and with it, I fully expect to see other states on both sides of the divide do the same. California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois and Massachusetts (with the possibility that Washington and Oregon could go that direction though they'd have to pass other laws first) could very well follow suit. Florida and Texas are already gerrymandered about as far as they can, Ohio and Missouri are close. The Supreme Court really can't rule on this, because if it ruled what California is doing is illegal, it means Texas can't gerrymander either.

Each step is making it just that much clearer that we really can't go back. The Trump administration is openly ignoring the courts now, knowing that it has the Supreme Court effectively captured, and it is becoming increasingly obvious that they will do everything they can to lock in their control by any means possible.
