maybe she’ll run for US Senate?
Funny to hear a crude, political hack slob like Crockett screeching about ‘integrity’.
“”Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX) suffered a meltdown after the Texas GOP unveiled a new congressional map that leaves her quite literally out of bounds.””
“”“Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air.””
Happy MAGA Monday! This delights me to no end. No, seriously... I’m positively giddy to see this. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving leftist cretin, in fact. Well.. I could think of a few more, actually. But THIS is good enough for me for now! In the infamous, immortal words of Picard....
“Make it so!”
No requirement to live in district you represent.
My friends we should make her district 100% black. Then gerrymander every black caucus member into a conservative district and replace them with a black republican. Would that be racist? The trick would be to get GOP voters to vote for them. Could we keep the black caucus at 40 with half of them republicans?
You’re fired

Background
As a result of the 1990 United States census, Texas was entitled to three additional congressional districts. In a called session in 1991, the Texas Legislature decided to draw one new Hispanic-majority district in South Texas (District 28), one new African-American majority district in Dallas County (District 30), and one new Hispanic-majority district in the Houston area (District 29). In addition, the Legislature decided to reconfigure an existing minority-majority district in the Houston area (District 18) to increase its percentage of African-Americans. The Texas Legislature had developed a state-of-the-art computer system, RedApl, that allowed it to draw congressional districts using racial data at the census block level. Working closely with the Texas congressional delegation and various members of the Legislature who intended to run for Congress, the Texas Legislature took great care to draw three new districts and reconfigure districts that the chosen candidates could win.
The Department of Justice precleared the plan under section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (52 U.S.C. § 10304) and it was used in the 1992 United States elections.
Plaintiffs Al Vera, Edward Blum, Polly Orcutt, Ken Powers, Barbara Thomas, and Ed Chen challenged 24 of the state’s 30 congressional districts as racial gerrymanders. A three-judge panel of the federal district, consisting of United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Judge Edith H. Jones, United States District Judges Melinda Harmon and David Hittner, struck down three Districts (18, 29, and 30) but the decision was stayed pending appeal, so the plan continued in use for the 1994 general election.
Those districts around DFW are a real piece of work.
Jackson Pollack comes to mind.
WINNING!
I guess Jasmine now knows just how Hot Governor Hot Wheels can be.
IIRC, Mad Maxine Waters doesn’t.........................
Integrity? I don’t think that’s a subject she’s qualified to speak on.
“No requirement to live in district you represent.”
That’s true, but it’s nuts.
Yes, but now the blue states are crying foul because they've redistricted their states as much as humanly possible in favor of Democrats (and they know it) and there's no more juice left to squeeze.
Meanwhile, some red states still have a bit of wiggle room and they're taking advantage of it.
Five....that’s 5 Dem seats .......kaputski.
Thank you for the maps!
