Did you just see what happened in AZ regarding that? The independent commission redistricted and put forth the tentative plan, then Republican Gov. Jan Brewer fired the head of the Commission before it became final. The state Supreme Court told Brewer to get lost, that's illegal, and reinstated the Commission chair. Brewer is now desperately trying to figure out how to get her fired again, and the Supreme Court warned her, and said, "Don't do it".
Paid lobbyists need to be gone. Lobbyists own our government. Money needs to be gone out of politics. Congress becomes millionaires, and it's not due to their salaries.
