Why didn't she hold Republicans in contempt and sanction the shit out of them?
This situation is pretty sickening and tells you everything you need to know about Republicans goals. They are pulling out the stops to preserve their gerrymandering in Ohio despite a constitutional amendment against it and their court ruling 5 times that they are submitting illegal maps.
Since there is no clear enforcement mechanism for them to comply, the logical response is another public sponsored amendment to force them to comply. So what's their response?

Coming to full fruition: "If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”—David Frum >

This is how they stole the US House majority, by corrupted gerrymandered maps that they designed specifically for the purpose of. They only won a four or five seat majority all states across the nation, but won 79% of the House seats in Ohio with only 57% of the state’s votes. All states with republican majority state legislatures do that exact same thing, and states like Texas, Alabama, Misery (ha ha), and Wisconsin are worse than Ohio (better at it, nobody there pushes back). Penn’s Woods too, in the last two decades. 
Most D run states have independent commissions directed by law to draw fair non-partisan maps.
I can really respect that republican OH SC Judge (O’Connor) for standing up against the injustice of it. She is obviously a moral person above team R politics, a hero in my book. But they walked around her, just like walked around Cheney, and won what they wanted yet again, diggin’ in deeper, grabbing more power than could honestly earn by merit. 
Their corruption, arrogance, aggressiveness and ability to succeed by such means just pisses me off. Fuckin nazis. >

So I’ve been following this for a while. And I was cynical because I knew there was no way to enforce the courts decisions., so I didn’t want to give them (OH SC) credit for doing the “right thing” if there was no teeth behind it. 
But now I feel like I was being an ass, I respect her.
