Sinopsis

The boys drink and review Black Ox Rye Porter, then discuss gerrymandering, especially in Maryland. The Maryland legislature recently proposed a scheme to redraw Congressional districts in the Old Line State. Redistricting makes sense and is necessary as populations move. But it's come to be a partisan exercise in maximizing the representation of the party in power in the state. Both parties have abused this power. In deep blue Maryland, this means the Democrats are redrawing the lines to eliminate all Republican representation. When Republican Texas does the same, the Justice Department attacks. Somehow Maryland is getting a pass.
