Lawyers representing state legislative leaders were in court Thursday in Raleigh, arguing to throw out an anti-gerrymandering lawsuit that targets the state’s new political districts.

The lawsuit argues that the state constitution guarantees the right to fair elections, and it says the new districts violate that promise. The Republican-led legislature argues that no such right exists, since it’s impossible to define what “fair” means.

    We have a right to bear arms, but we don’t have a right to fair elections?

    The solution is left as an exercise to the reader.

      Something about “shall not be infringed”, and they couldn’t care less about anything else.
