If Texas GOP want to draw *every* district to be Trump+6 with ridiculous lines, it would be entirely consistent with majority rule (not consistent with VRA, but that's a separate question). But a map that's 50% Trump+15 would be a deliberate effort to allow for minority rule — PolitiTweet.org

Only one metric would logically follow from a republican government clause attack: the mean-median gap. A lot of the usual anti-gerrymandering would be irrelevant in this framework, like commissions, efficiency gap, compactness, communities of interest, proportionality, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously there are all kinds of challenges here, including the courts, as there always are. But I do think it's interesting that they didn't take a shot at it, given how often the republican gvt clause option gets talked about (including by roberts, kennedy etc) — PolitiTweet.org
