Breaking News....The Ohio Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, with Justice Maureen O'Connor joining the Democrats again, is trying to disrupt Ohio's mid-term Elections by rejecting the Ohio Redistricting Commission's redrawn maps that gave the Democrats five more seats. It's time to move on and ignore the court. If Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor wants to continue in her rogue manner, as she has obviously joined the radical left by trying to disrupt the 2022 mid-terms, she may be facing impeachment. Stay tuned...
HERE IS THE DISSENTING OPINION BY JUSTICES KENNEDY AND DEWINE.
{172} We dissent from the majority's pronouncement that the revised General Assembly- district plan violates Article XI, Sections 6(A) and 6(B) of the Ohio Constitution and is therefore invalid. And we disagree with the majority's decision to retain jurisdiction over this case and to set arbitrary time limitations and new rules for the Ohio Redistricting Commission's work that have no basis in the text of the Ohio Constitution.
{173} It is apparent that m disregard of constitutional standards, four members of this court have now commandeered the redistricting process and that they will continue to reject any General Assembly-district plan until they get the plan they want. It would simplify matters if the commission would just provide the majority with the map-drawing software, Maptitude, so that they can draw the map themselves. At this point, one must wonder which seven-member body is the true redistricting commission-the constitutionally named officers or this court?
