Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can't help but think that the Deen case/story totally shows the problems with SCOTUS' arguements for knocking down that key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Or the fact that they immediately implemented a voter ID law in Texas that had been rejected by the Feds?
I may be wrong, but I think the redistricting in TX might be worse than the ID law.
I hope some people stage multiple day flash mobs at centers to get IDs.
Redistricting is tricky, I think.
Edit: I mean, conceptually, I don't know anything about what's going on in TX.
They are redistricting the fuck out of Texas.
For example, Austin, TX, is split across five or six congressional districts, so that Democrats can't get a majority in any of them.
What a push pull of emotions. Yay for DOMA and Prop 8 decisions. Boo for Voters Rights decision. Yay Wendie. Boo Texas.
They are redistributing the BLUE out of Texas.
I don't suppose there's any chance of the discrimination being so glaring and noxious that it gets a bunch of the parties responsible booted out come the next election in spite of the gerrymandering?
Nope. That's the whole point of it.
