I doubt that the Supremes will overturn this, especially since the Justice Department gave it a clean bill of health.

Will you settle for a not-available-in-stores collection of Motown's Greatest Hits from K-Tel hearing this case?

Dallas Morning Snooze confirms

Court OKs Texas redistricting

01:56 PM CST on Tuesday, January 6, 2004

Associated Press

AUSTIN — A three-judge federal panel on Tuesday approved a Republican-backed redistricting map designed to bolster the GOP's strength in Texas' congressional delegation.

The decision, which comes after a December trial, was a blow to Democrats who have worked for the better part of the year to block the GOP's efforts.

The map could put as many as seven additional Republicans in Texas' congressional delegation, in which Democrats currently hold a 17-15 advantage.

Also Online
Maps:
• Current Texas Congressional districts
• Proposed Texas Congressional districts

Republicans, who hold every statewide office in Texas and control the state House and Senate, have a majority in Congress.
