That's my fault, really, I've been slightly brainwashed by academia and that's just how I go about categorizing things (by using the "global" mindset"). It does lead to confusion more often than not.
Gerrymandering and filibustering are two of my favorite topics to talk about, though. Once, here in Texas, the governor had to order the Texas Rangers (Chuck stayed home to keep the populace in check) to go get the judiciary to come back and vote on something. They had fled to Arizona on tax payer cash, haha. I want to say they were pissy about some gerrymandering...
