Thank you. I was unaware that identical/similar actions had been filed.

So, when can we expect to hear from the Circuit Court. It would be fascinating to see the SAME copout on their part -- ''we're not the proper court in which to initiate this action'' -- wouldn't it?

Well, so much for mandamus as a way to hold our so-called ''representatives'' responsible for their actions.

Rooting for a lawful result, but expecting NOTHING.

FReegards!

I'm not positive about this, because the news coverage was so sketchy, but I believe the Attorney General filed it in the same state District Court where the Rats had filed their claims of Voting Rights Act violations, etc.

The Rats ultimately decided to make that claim in Federal Court down in Laredo, and the District Court dismissed the suit. As far as I know, the question is not in front of any judge right now.

It wouldn't be proper to try again right now, since the legislature is not in session.
