Members of the Independent Redistricting Commission want a federal judge to rule that state lawmakers are wrong in saying only they get to draw lines for 
congressional districts.
In legal papers filed in U.S. District Court, attorneys for the commission acknowledge that the U.S. Constitution does say that the manner of selecting members of Congress “shall be prescribed in each state by the Legislature.” And it was the commission created the maps used last decade and again last year for the coming decade.
The lawyers, however, told Judge Paul Rosenblatt that process is legal.
