That was my first question as well. Are the people of Texas just going to watch this happen?!?! Our streets would explode if they tried that here.

So the Texas Executive Branch is asking the Judicial Branch to interfere in the workings of the Legislative Branch so that it can rubber stamp the demands of the President of the US to redraw maps in an off-year to entrench partisan gerrymandering? So much for separation of powers & federalism.

hey NYT--removing Dem legislators because they are protesting illegal gerrymandering===would be wildly corrupt. Why don't you point this out? or are you just a GOP propaganda organ?

Given the make up of the supreme Court, reasonable chance they go along with this. Where does this leave democracy in the US and mid terms starts to look a lot more problematic.
