Trump to Pa. Republicans: Challenge new 'pushed' congressional map all the way to Supreme Court
Source: The Hill

President Trump encouraged Pennsylvania Republicans on Tuesday to challenge the state's new congressional map in court, saying that the original map deemed unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court "was correct."

Trump's tweet came a day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unveiled a new congressional map that increases Democrats' electoral chances in several districts currently held by Republicans.
The state Supreme Court ruled last month that the previous congressional map was unlawfully gerrymandered along partisan lines, and ordered a new map to be drawn.
Pennsylvania Republicans requested that the U.S. Supreme Court stay that decision, but that request was ultimately rejected earlier this month. Republicans in the state have said that they plan to take the issue to federal court to try to block the new map from taking effect.

Also if Trump tries to disband the FBI because they're bullying him instead of arresting every high school student who posts threats online, we need Dems to block it.

Doesn't matter HOW good the map, as long as it doesn't result in puke minority rule they will throw a tantrum.
