A small tidbit about redistricting
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/08/04/1002998/-Daily-Kos-Elections-Morning-Digest:-8-4?via=blog_1

• Texas: I wish we had something meatier here, but Dave Wasserman's tweet is tantalizing nonetheless: "Smart GOPers have expressed big concerns in past few wks that TX map won't get pre-cleared and federal court could draw map for '12". Wasserman speculates that a court-drawn map could cost the GOP four seats (TX-23, TX-25, TX-35 and TX-36), all because the GOP got too greedy in reaching for one extra seat in the DFW Metroplex. That'd be some pretty wild stuff if it ever came to pass.

Plese, please make it so DOJ! Help us Attorney General Eric Holder and DOJ - you are our only hope!

:kick: for absolute hope!!

The only thing disturbing about the tweet is "Smart GOPers". How many is that - I can't think of one in Texas at all. :shrug:

2. AG Holder hasn't stepped up to the plate on much else........
I don't expect him to jump on this one.

Justice used to be something in this country. Now, rich folks walk, the poor and working class do the time.
