Don't Let Biased Legislators Draw the Lines

   Former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy once said he would favor banning partisan gerrymandering if only someone could show him a way to identify it.
   You see, partisan gerrymandering is done without it being announced as such. Political parties don't normally confess to what they are doing, even when it is obvious.
   In answer to Justice Kennedy, I would say that while a law against partisan gerrymandering might be difficult to enforce, a law taking redistricting out of the hands of biased legislators is not. Just require that independent, non-partisan boards draw the districts. And, as part of their oath to office, let them swear they will not draw lines just to favor a political party.
