Having lost control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats are pulling out all the stops in their quest to regain power.<\/p>\n

Politico<\/a> reported that changes to the composition of courts in New York and Wisconsin have Democrats thinking about \u201credistricting redos\u201d in those two states.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely corrupt and pathetic,\u201d Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York said. \u201cThey may have changed the makeup of a court in order to affect an outcome. I hope that\u2019s not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Republican Rep. Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin agreed: \u201cI think it would be odd to change the maps in Wisconsin or anywhere every time you have a new state supreme court, right?\u201d Grothman called the Democrats\u2019 move in his state \u201ca really weird precedent in which you could have five different maps in a 10-year period, depending upon who won or lost a state Supreme Court race.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Politico report offered a realistic assessment of the relationship between Democrats\u2019<\/a> words and their actual motives: \u201cDemocrats often employ high-minded rhetoric about democracy in these cases, but they are keenly aware that even a small advantage could determine who controls the chamber in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

At issue in both states is the Democrats\u2019 insistence on using the courts to overturn the results of the most recent redistricting processes.<\/p>\n

Democratic Rep. Marc Pocan of Wisconsin said that appealing to the courts is \u201cthe only way you can dig out of a gerrymandered state.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to gerrymandering, neither party has a pristine record.<\/p>\n

The idea of using the courts to re-draw districts before another U.S. census<\/a> has occurred should strike us as appalling for several reasons.<\/p>\n

First, it is a brazen power grab wrapped in the Democrats\u2019 usual platitudes about democracy.<\/p>\n

Second, and more important, it is an affront to self-government. The entire redistricting process reflects poorly on our elected representatives.<\/p>\n

New York offers an instructive example. Channeling the old-time progressive spirit of \u201cgovernment by experts,\u201d New York state uses an Independent Redistricting Commission to draw its electoral maps.<\/p>\n

In a state that once made Boss Tweed\u2019s Tammany Hall famous, perhaps it is understandable that constitution-makers did not trust state legislators to determine the political playing field without succumbing to corruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The consequence, however, is that the people\u2019s representatives abdicate their responsibilities to the courts.<\/p>\n

In the most recent redistricting cycle, for instance, neither the legislature nor the commission could produce an acceptable map. The state\u2019s highest court stepped in and appointed a special master.<\/p>\n

While a certain amount of self-interested shenanigans are bound to accompany nearly all human endeavors, an appeal to the courts in a case such as this amounts to shameless disregard for the principles of constitutional self-government.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we can look forward to the Democrats prattling on about democracy.<\/p>\n
