#1 What Texas should have down was arrested the judges for treason against the state of Texas and executed them quickly. At some point the states are going to have to stand up federal tyranny and the rule of Supreme Ass-Monkey of the Universe Obama.

#2 This is what you get when the country goes haywire and elects a scrawny assed Kenyan to the office of the President of the United States of America, who was promised 7/24 golf outings, unlimited domestic and international travel to him and the wife, as long as he fills the role of an empty suite who is to read from a teleprompter and sign Socialist/Marxist regulations against capitalism and the right.

#3 The SCT kicked this back down to the District court. The District court can still redraw the maps, but it must take into account the wishes of the TX legislature -- something all 9 SCT Justices agreed that the District court did not do the first time around.

The District court has until Feb 1 to come up with new maps. My guess is that they are already furious working with the Democrats who brought this suit to come up with something just as awful as the first set. These maps will be provisional until the case makes it way through the entire judicial process -- something which will take years. That's OK with the Dems. They have lost elections. They have lost seats. But they are still happy to postpone the full impact of those losses.

#4 I'd be fine with O-boy partying 24x7, as long as he picks up Cheney as his chief of staff. Gotta wonder who's really making the decisions....

#5 Better yet, Justice Thomas rather pointedly noted that Section 5 of the Civil Rights Act (the section that gives the DoJ the right to review election maps) is, in his opinion, unconstitutional. The other justices declined to go along with him (this time) but that line of legal reasoning just has to scare the bejeebus out of the progressive legal community.

#6 The Progressives must have sensed something in Justice Thomas when he was being considered for appointment. Black conservatives just don't fit into their meme. The Anita Hill thing was despicable but follows their M.O.

Possibility here of picking up 4 seats in the House.

#7 Well, somewhere and maybe not Texas, they will find lots of dead people to vote. Democrat party always have been a sham. It should go down in history as evil.
