"Remap Debate Has Democrats Adopting Position of Convenience"

Stuart Rothenberg offers this oped in Roll Call (paid subscription required). He takes the same position I took here earlier this week: that re-redistricting in the same decade is bad policy, but not unconstitutional. He adds: "I might feel differently if I thought that Democrats really were standing on principle. But I didn’t hear any Democrats in Georgia (or Washington, D.C., for that matter) complaining about the state’s redistricting plan, which was drawn by Democratic legislators primarily with partisanship in mind."
