[Robert A Cook PE]

Repubbie's cannot be allowed to gerrymander either, but I'm very, very suspicious.

If the Court set aside a DeLay plan, that the demo's are (screaming lies and hype) were protesting, then the Court looks like it is going to support the demo's (vote-fraud, ALREADY gerrymandered by race!) existing (support-the-demo's) districts.

Court Nixes Part of Texas Political Map

"On a different matter, the court ruled 7-2 that state legislators may draw new maps as often as they like — not just once a decade as Texas Democrats claimed. That means Democratic and Republican state lawmakers can push through new maps anytime there is a power shift at a state capital."

IMHO, I think this is even more noteworthy. It has the potential to generate congressional redistricting every time a house in a state legislature changes control from dems to pubbies or vice versa. In states with the right of popular initiatives, that could lead to more states having non-partisan commissions drawing the maps of congressional districts and making many more of those districts up for grabs.
