This is getting a lot of radio coverage in Alb.....the afternoon guy is saying the Texas legislative redictricing is not on the up and up (bad Repblicans).In other words that it is not a normal occurance in the 10 year cycle ....What info have you got on this?

Texas state law (the constitution, I believe) says that the state LEGISLATURE is responsible to redraw district lines every ten years. Two years ago, the Legislature couldn't agree and just didn't get the job done. The Court then picked up the ball and pretty much 'blessed' the old one, which was gerrymandered by the 'RATS in 1992. Oh, btw, the 'RATS dropped the 2/3rd rule THAT YEAR, so the thing about breaking the tradition by the GOP this year is a 'RAT LIE !
