I think it's a good thing. You want lines to be drawn in such a way that you have fair representation, and you have relatively competitive political seats. Green's political career was launched, in part, through the process of redistricting. Green got into the state Assembly when lines were redrawn, presenting him with a new, mostly favorable district cobbled from pieces of various, mostly Democratic, districts in 1992. Now in Congress, Green won't be master of his own fate.
State legislators do all the line-drawing unless a deadlock forces the courts to take over.
