#1 Surprisingly, reaction is pretty cut down political lines. Republicans think they're (at best) babies or (at worst) criminals. Dem's (at least in public) think they're "heros". Kind of reminds me of another Dem scandal a couple of years ago in DC. Just goes to show...

#3 Being from TX, I'm hoping that Dewhurst and the other Republicans just show up unannounced in Albequerque one of these days. Walk in, gavel the meeting to order, announce passage on a voice vote, and leave.

It'd be interesting... ;-)

#5 NMM--Where does it say that it *has* to be every 10 years? Did the precedent of Presidents serving two terms stop that liberal asshat FDR from going for three and four terms? Your pet Dummycrats should have passed that rule when they had the chance. Too damn bad they had to learned the hard way, but not to worry: the Republicans will hammer that home when they pick up an unchallenged majority in the next election.

#6 MY understanding is that re-districting is based on the census (evry 10 years) --if you know something I don't then I stand corrected when you produce evidence to the contrary--OK?

#7 My point is precedence does not rule over law, OK? The Dems had 150+ years of majority power to enact that, and they didn't. Oops! Their bad.
