I'll go ahead and join in the growing number of people saying how the Supreme Court could rule pretty soon on the Texas redistricting case.
Seeing how there's 5 more days until July, I think it could happen that it would be safe to say that there's a chance that there might be a ruling pretty soon. Maybe even today, I don't know (see how I say something that everybody knows already but pass it off like it's new and exciting insight? Thanks MSM for teaching me how to sound totally smart, or at least how to think I sound totally smart).
Anyways, the Supreme Court could throw out the Delay map, throw out chunks of it, send it to a lower court, or do any number of things. Really I have no idea, but if they throw out the maps, I got dibs on one of the old seats. It's about time I took my smart sounding self to Washington.
Ruling should come Thursday...and I'd expect for parts of the map (I'm looking at you, chile districts) to be changed.
My redistricting haiku:
Austin to Laredo,
communities of interest...
keep the Valley weird?
They're not going to "throw out the map." Scribble on it maybe. But won't throw it out.
The only seat you are getting Rawhide is a highchair.
The GOP could get royally screwed on this one.
My inside birdie says a 5-4 split to leave map intact however some strong language to "watch it!" in the future. Now what do I win?
Right of Texas, what's wrong with you?
