Kazen is a rare federal judge, it seems, for he was willing to forego a decision by himself and pass the issue to a higher court. Most federal judges, such as Myron Thompson in AL, can't wait to issue rulings that thwart the freedom of the people.

Yet, Kazen said Perry and Dewhurst should give the Democrats 72 hours notice before calling a third special session.

Clearly this suit seems outside the realm of a federal court.

Naw, Hazen is just another complicit Dem hack. Delaying tactic.

Sounds like the judge is playing the fiddle as the democrats want it played.... delay.... delay..... delay.... hoping to get to the time frame beyond which filing dates are in play thus districts can't be redrawn for the next election..... He thinks VRA doesn't apply but just in case lets send it over for a panel to review.... that should take up a good month or two.....

U.S. District Judge George Kazen said he doesn't think the Voting Rights Act applies in the case, but the issues raised by the 11 senators have enough merit to refer the case to the larger group of judges.
