More on SCOTUS and Gerrymandering

The press is picking up on the SCOTUS decision on the Texas redistricting
case.

I did see one disappointing, but unsurprising blurb at WSJ
Online
(subscriber link):

On a different issue, the court ruled that state
legislators may draw new maps as often as they like — not just once a
decade as Texas Democrats claimed. That means Democratic and Republican
state lawmakers can push through new maps anytime there is a power shift
at a state capital.

Wonderful. Just wonderful.
