<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-217" src="https://stalberg.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/800px-The_Gerry-Mander_Edit.png" alt="" width="800" height="838" />In another death blow to our democracy, the United States Supreme Court ruled last Thursday that extreme gerrymandered congressional maps will no longer be reviewed nor struck down by the federal federal courts. This means that the extreme gerrymandering of states like North Carolina and Maryland - which were previously struck down by the federal courts - are now sanctioned by the highest court.

This combined with the Citizens United decision and the systematic eroding of voting rights in the U.S. has ensured that the country will continue its trajectory of replacing democracy with corporatocracy.
