Cool. So now that republicans (as always) set a precedent to get what they want. You dems have no excuses right?

Come to think of it, how come democrats never gerrymander? How about the restrict voting in rural white communities just for a start? At least then they’d benefit from job security.

Republicans already set this precedent decades ago. Democrats retconned the power of the parliamentarian.
