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 !

Does Texas State law specify that a special session has to be held in Texas? Couldn't the Governor call a special in New Mexico? Surely the Marriott has a conference room big enough to sit a few more guests.
