IMHO, this is a done deal...the GOP will get this through....teh louder the Dems and the media scream, the better the sign they know they're in trouble......BTW..wonder what special proviso in some bill somewhere Ratliff is holding out for..?

I agree I think it will be passed in some form/version. People seem to be thinking the House version is the only thing out there, but the Senate is an equal participant and will make some changes I believe. If for no other reason than to show some autonomy.

The Senate's last public hearing is today in Waco at 1pm. Then they will begin the process of putting together their version of a redistricting map in the Senate Committee on Jurisprudence ... At that point things will become better focused as to how they compare with the House version and where the real hang ups are at, if any.... It's still a few days out for the rubber to meet the road.
