Fuck this Partisan Supreme Court
Justices express skepticism in Texas redistricting case
Partisan politics called fact of life in the drawing of electoral districts
WASHINGTON
Supreme Court justices signaled yesterday that they are likely to uphold the Texas redistricting plan engineered in 2003 by former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
DeLay's plan gave the Republicans six more seats in the House of Representatives and helped lock in the GOP majority. But the plan was criticized for its brazenness, because district lines are usually drawn only once a decade after the new census shows how the population has shifted.
