courtesy of the federal judiciary.  It is a bit unseemly when a federal judge unilaterally attempts to change the partisan make-up of a swing state’s congressional delegation and one of the political parties (and their communications team at the Washington Post) break down in celebration at the early Christmas gift that will just keep giving for 10 years.  Of course, the judge could have provided a status quo map that did no harm to either side and refused to play “I know best.”  But that didn’t happen, did it.

Perhaps other federal judges will exhibit more self-control.
