Also WI has crazy safe republican districts and even if SCOTUS finds the redistricting from the last census illegal (which they won't) the need to redistrict again won't happen until 2020. I am not giving up, but it is going to be much harder to flip the house than dems think.

Power concedes nothing.

If the SCOTUS finds the redistricting illegal, new maps would probably be drawn before 2020. n/t BzaDem Jul 2017 #11
