…at Trump's request to gain Republican seats. I was told the map has been ready since January. They could pass it in one vote.

Texas Special Legislative Session procedures are not my specialty…

What say you TexAgs?

Even if it happens, it will get blocked by some federal judge within minutes.

Heck, there is probably some Obama or Biden judge who already has an injunction typed up and ready to go.

Then it will take a few years before the Supreme Court either decides to hear it, or lets the lower court ruling stand.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Fewer democrats is always a good thing. Will some of them be RINOs? Sure. Still better than democrats. And none of us can do anything about it anyway.

Find out a way for compromise where Dan Crenshaw's new district is heavily Democrat while the new districts are heavily Republican; that's a WIN/ WIN!

Newsome now saying he'll redistrict California to offset/negate any additions gained via Texas redistricting.

Gerrymandering insanity is killing this country. Based on the popular vote in statewide elections Texas should have 4 or 5 more democrats in the house. And all of them should be more beholden to all of there constituents.

Instead you get monstrcities like what Trump is signing today.

Can we just saw off that part of the states and push the dingleberry plantation into the ocean to sink already?

I'm not so sure about that. Democrats are nuts, but people get complacent as long as a politician has an R by their name, which allows them to vote like a Democrat.

I think focusing on deportations and legislation to remove illegals from the census is the way to go. That is why you see the Dems in a panic. They already cheated republicans out of 4 seats nationally in the 2020 census.

Well, that would be a terrible outcome. Fewer Democrats the better.

We need to rightfully get illegals out of the census so we can have even fewer Democrats in office.

California doesn't need to redistrict.

They already stole 4 republican seats by fabricating new mail in votes 3 or 4 weeks after the election.

Maybe, but I'm not so sure it will take that long. dems have set the precedent on redistricting/gerrymandering long ago….

Now do California, Washington and Oregon. Throw NY in there too.

Those are one party states after what they have done.

Even with all the cheating and mail in ballots and weeks to "properly count" the ballots and the disinterest of republicans California is still basically a 60/40 state.

Remove all of those factors and it should probably be a 50-50 state.

Wasn't it redistricting that prompted all the state dems to leave the state in protest several years back? Seems like the house dems spent a week in Oklahoma, and then when they came back the senate dems went to New Mexico. I could be confusing instances.

Any Texas redistricting map consequently produced would take 10 years of litigation to ever be approved.

This is the correct answer. Illegals should not be counted and federal law should require proof of citizenship to be counted. I'm guessing ID.me could pull this off in record time. Or we could send census people door to door to check birth certificates.

Keep that crazy bag Crockett in. She's the gift that keeps giving to the Republicans.

Do NOT redraw the crazies out. Peak crazy is legislatively ineffective and probably does more damage on message than a quite true believer that sits down and gets work done.

I'm not opposed to starting on it, but realistically the 2030 census data will reset the process before it ever happens no matter what, imho. I also would love to somehow see Dan Crenshaw's primary chances weakened somehow, in random **** no one else should care about.
