According to the COTUS, representation is solely a function of population. There are no valid political party considerations, there are no valid social considerations. To grotesquely configure districts to accomplish political or social objectives (as is now considered the ‘normal’ spoils of politics) is a gross perversion of the electoral process. It is no different than stuffing the ballot box or otherwise attempting to pre-determine election results. Anyone attempting gerrymandering should be subject to the strictest penalties available under law because it undermines the very foundation of our Constitutional Republic.
Any effort at redistricting should be to adjust for gross population shifts and should be absolutely blind to any other considerations. ‘Equal justice under law’ requires that every Citizen be afforded equal representation in Congress. Elected representatives should be focused on the needs of every constituent according to the COTUS, not some artificial or personal political agenda. The COTUS defines the authorities and responsibilities delegated
to the federal government. We elect a government to meet those responsibilities within the strictly limited delineated authorities; and to ‘preserve, protect, and defend the COTUS’: only this and nothing more.

The COTUS does not validate any concept of ‘popular mandate’; ‘political mandate’; or ‘elections have consequences’. These are simply perversions of the administration of our Constitutional Republic. It is time for Citizens to demand an end to gerrymandering; and to demand an end to the abuse of the COTUS by power-mad, elitist representatives who manipulate our political processes for their personal gain and personal aggrandizement.
