Crocket responds to Texas Republican redistricting which x’ed her out:
<><>”I will fight and I will win.”
<><>”I will earn my seat back to the People’s House in DC.”

In your dreams, sister.

Hey 0bama, just to let you know we’re not a democracy. We’re a constitutional republic. Go back to school for civics 101.

Thanks for the link! Now he’s really going to see backfire when REAL America Freepers bring him and his followers actual facts.

Yo, Obama, (if that’s your REAL name), are you going to speak out against Newscum’s plans to redraw Commiefornia’s districts?

Of course this is gaming / manipulating things.

BUT, what is good for the goose...

You can’t have it both ways and the Democrats from what I have seen are far better (better grass roots mobilization and organization) and nastier (stick together and willing to play lawfare etc) at these games than the Republicans or what you see in Texas.

If Obama and the Democrats have a problem with this, no problem, I agree, let’s stop all these games. Let’s start with California and fix things there!

Isn’t there a pending Supreme Court case which may knock out gerrymandering to meet race objectives?

“This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.”

WOW, how thoughtful and creative, I only heard this from Democrats this year 5 million times.

“This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.”

In a democracy, the majority rules. The majority need not concern itself with the views, opinions or rights of the minority.

In a democracy, the majority can do what it wants regardless of how it affects the minority.

Be careful of what you wish for because sometimes you get it.

How about this? Obama whined that the duly elected Texas majority is performing the duties which voters and Texas laws empower them to perform by complaining that the move “undermines our democracy”.

Excuse me, but which side is “undermining our democracy”?

Fewer and fewer Democrats care what the Piece of Obama says.

The side that doesn't allow their registered voters to vote and select their Presidential candidate; Harris.

Seeing how Obama represented Kenya, the country of his birth and Indonesia, where he was raised, his opinion about districts in the United States means nothing.

Yep. His mojo is fading, as both his party and the MSM continues to implode. I applaud daily and pray for more self destruction on their parts. Lies, deceit and fraud eventually catch up with even the most adept users of those satanic tools.

Not sure about that. I don't think The Constitution specifies how a State draws its electoral map. Or, even if it did, what is to stop demonicRATS from ignoring it?

The Constitution requires every state to have a "republican" form of government. Commiefornia does not.

Here in Northern Commiefornia where I live, we have one State Senator who represents 11 Counties. LA County alone has 12 Senators.

In a republican form of government, each County would have the same number of Senators.

The irony is, our state flag reads, "the republic of California"

Both Obama and Holder have come out of hiding on this.
They are VERY scared.
