The two options are gerrymander to the hilt or fair national bill that makes it even everywhere. I’d prefer the later, but we don’t get there at this point without the former. We really need to be ruthless but open the door while doing it for bi-partisan fixes.
You're looking at velvet malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2.

I hate it when our enemies align on an “enemy of our enemies basis”, and the rag tag coalition they form aren’t the baddies.
I’m ok with our first ever defeat to also be a statement against horrible people, but will break the bank to beat the old Sandusky boys if they threaten our position.
