The 11 Chicken Little D's know if Washington allows the two thirds rule to be junked, their fight is over. The remaining Senators in Austin can pass the redistricting plan. Lock, set, match, and barrel.

if Washington allows the two thirds rule to be junked, their fight is over Not exactly. There is still the 2/3 requirement for a quorum. The Republicans are letting the DOJ know that they are adopting the "Bullock Precedent" which was last used when Bob Bullock (the great Democratic Lt. Governor--and President of the Senate) eliminated the "Senate courtesy" of a "blocker bill" that requires 2/3 of the Senate to approve before a bill comes up for debate.
Bullock also had to remove the "blocker bill" to get redistricting through 12 years ago.
