Excellent !! I have seen a number of Stinson's editorials posted the last few months. Gotta love it !!Thanks for posting that . . .
I hope you're right. But today there are two rumblings that suggest the Rat tantrum might work. First, DoJ preclearance requires months of court battles, and Perry suggests that September starts to push things. No preclearance in time and the current map will stay in effect in 2004, which would possibly kill the momentum for a fair remap. Second, Rep. Phil King has filed a bill (according to the website Quorum Report) "empower[ing] the Secretary of State to move back the deadline for candidates to file for Congress in the event redistricting battles are not resolved in time." I can already hear the Rat response to the latter that Republicans are changing the election law -- aaaaaaaagh! Republicans will counter that the Dems have done this in NJ, FL, and a myriad of other places, with both election law and really anything else that can be shoved through an accomodating activist court, and the Dems will rant and call us racists and despots. They'll say that this is an unprecedented right-wing power grab. It'll be the "Republicans' fault" -- especially Tom DeLay's -- just like it's our fault that the fleeing 11 Rats didn't have time to pack clean underwear before they ran to NM this time around.
I don't know what this was in reference to, but a long time ago FReeper uglybiker had a great quote (so funny I had to copy it) once that is so often relevant in the public sphere. I'm going to use here, hope s/he doesn't mind: "Just goes to show, that no matter what happens, if it's bad; it's the Republicans' fault. I saw a dead dog beside the road today. Must've been run over by a Republican. My butt itches. It's the Republicans' fault."
Just keep calling special sessions until they cave or until we find a judge who declares that they are no longer Texas residents. We'll eventually win, and we're in this for the long haul.
I've heard they're shopping for a "kind" federal judge that will slap an injunction on the Lt. Gov. so that he can't have the DPS arrest them when they step foot back in Tejas.
Hit these turds in the wallet/pocket book and they will run home to mamma like a sissy with a skinned knee.

"Texans for Sale or Rent"
[To the Roger Miller tune, Trailers for sale or rent] ...Texans for sale or rent / Having our room service sent / Lounging round by the pools / Playing our whole state for fools ....
We know every lawyer in every court / And all of their partners, and all of their torts / And every hangout, in every town/ And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around ....
Texans for sale or rent ....
With my apologies to the good Freepers and lawyers here. No offense intended ...
And that article is a LOT more than that little song parody, too !
