Pennsylvania GOP to ignore state Scotus Order

Senate's top GOP leader won't obey Pa. Supreme Court order in gerrymandering case

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided the state's congressional map illegally favors Republicans and must be redrawn. Here's the background on the case.



Political and legal fights have intensified over Pennsylvania's gerrymandered congressional map after Senate Republicans vowed to ignore a court order issued by the Democrat-majority state Supreme Court.
In a letter to the justices, a lawyer for Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, said Wednesday he will not comply with a court directive to turn over voter records and mapmaking material.
The letter states the court’s Jan. 22 ruling striking down the state’s 2011 congressional map was a judicial overstep. The ruling, the letter said, did not include judicial guidance on how lawmakers can rectify the map and the court has yet to provide it, indicating the justices plan to make their own map for the May 15 primary.
If that’s the case, the lawyer warned, the justices won’t get help from Scarnati, who will not relinquish “statewide municipal and precinct map data.”

A finding of being in contempt of court may result from a failure to obey a lawful order of a court, showing disrespect for the judge, disruption of the proceedings through poor behaviour, or publication of material or non-disclosure of material, which in doing so is deemed likely to jeopardize a fair trial. A judge may impose sanctions such as a fine or jail for someone found guilty of contempt of court. Judges in common law systems usually have more extensive power to declare someone in contempt than judges in civil law systems. The client or person must be proven to be guilty before being punished.
 
Gore did not lose


Hilary did not lose


Obama actually won by a MOUNTAIN

Was Gore President?

Is Hillary President?

Since the only honest answer you can give is "No", they lost. Neither one of them will have the title President next to their name in the history books.

All that ranting while the purposely gerrymandered majority black districts still exist.

It's easy to tell why blacks like those districts. It's the only way any of them could ever get elected.

The numbers are not in Republicans favor ... that's reality.

I suppose they could also order that an independent commission be formed, that takes control of the documents and dose the redistricting that they are refusing to do.

Sad how the only reason those black Reps can get elected is to have a built in advantage. Otherwise, they couldn't get hired to shine shoes at the Capitol much less have an office there.
