Good riddance.

Ratliffe so far has killed redistricting. Dewhurst(in his own words when interviewed on 570KLIF in Dallas) had reached an agreement with 2 Democrats to vote to allow redistricting to be considered, but then Ratliffe backed out right before the vote and keep it one below the 2/3rd's required. Since with Ratliffe's backstab it no longer mattered, the 2 Dems then went ahead and voted against to avoid being outed and ostracized by their party.

Yes, one of those 11 in NM earlier agreed to allow redistricting to be considered, but now there may be too much water under the bridge, and too many 'offers they can't refuse' from the Clinton/DNC(and make no mistake, that is who is pushing this boycott technique. If it works here, watch for it to spread elsewhere, and it has already been threatened once, IIRC in DC.)

Thanks for nothing Ratliffe, you backstabbing sorry slimy huge ego bastard.

Actually Lloyd Doggett (D-TX, Austin, 10th CD), who's own political career is on the line here was pushing hard on the chicken Ds ... him and no doubt a few of the other Ds on the redistricting chopping block.

Doggett pioneered this illegal quorum-busting move back in 1979 and actively encouraged the first "run" back in May.

Very partisan Liberal Dem.
