The problem with these sort of editorials is it starts a tit-for-tat game in which no one wins and everyone looks rather shrill in the end.
My problem with the re-districting is the impact it's going to have on the rest of the 50 states. Should the states with Democratic legislatures now feel free to squeeze out Republican seats? Once the Democratic legislatures do it, the Republicans will do it right back, and we'll have wasted years of worthwhile work these men and women could have been doing, the end result being no significant change.
We elected our state representatives to work for us, not for Terry McAuliffe and Karl Rove.
