Gerrymandering is illegal by Davis vs. Bandemer (1986), though it's difficult to enforce. It would still be difficult to enforce if it was encoded in the Constitution.
If we supported scrapping the Consitution over every bug in the system, Progressives would not have much credibility as a movement, just like conservatives do not have credibility for their proposed const'l changes (the marriage ban and eliminating birth citizenship).
We need election reform and accountability, not a new constitution.
