The courts exist to provide relief to the people and regardless of whether a solution like this were applied, the courts could continue to provide relief. It would be interesting to see a solution which is more self-organizing at a grassroots level and which might mitigate the whole "from on high" decision-making. So long as a small group of driven individuals is making decisions like this, we will continue to have risks from material non-public knowledge used to game the system, and risks to the successful foothold by minority (of any sort) populations except those large enough to warrant party support. It's not an issue that the courts have had to step in -- without the courts the people would be left without relief.
