Well, we knew SCOTUS would block......

the ruling from a judge to disallow the redistricting Texas’ new map!

So, what I see out of the ruling is that Bondi’s lawsuit against shouldn’t have any merit whatsoever? But again, it’s a Trump controlled SCOTUS, never under estimate anything?

Back when Jim Jordan's district looked like a duck, I read an article that stated that gerrymandering can backfire when a district suddenly changes demographics or disposition. Demographics is slower, but disposition can happen in a matter of months. The House is especially vulnerable cuz people are more willing to vote for the other party or not vote at all, since rep terms are only two years.

People's disposition is changing—fast. Wait till Christmas when people see how little their money buys. A $20 paint set I was looking at about a month ago, jumped up $8. ~gasp!
