Redistricting case before the supreme court. No maps approved as yet, and the liberal groups are up in arms over the gerry mandered districts (I guess they want them neatly divided into districts.............which our state legislators have said can be done once federal law in applied and the gerry mandered districts are outlined). So, now, these groups got these horrid fair district laws on the ballot and worked to get them approved by Florida residents who voted for them mostly to get rid of gerrymandered districts................and we are stuck with them anyway!

Democrats and the voting-rights groups — including the League of Women Voters, the National Council of La Raza and Common Cause Florida — contend that the lawmakers violated the anti-gerrymandering Fair Districts provisions in the constitution by protecting incumbents.
“In order for the Court to properly carry out its duties in evaluating this constitutional standard, it is necessary that the Court be provided with information concerning the residences of legislators,” the majority said in a 4-3 ruling.

They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
