And the Supreme Court just gave them the power to do it. Mark my words Wendy Davis’ district is gone. They will get rid of her first. They will bring back that terrible map and they will be able to get away with these shenanigans indefinitely. I’m trying not despair, but it’s hard not to.

Yeah, that’s just what I was reflecting upon a few minutes ago, that with today’s SCOTUS ruling the Texas GOP is going to be quick to further consolidate its power in the face of the oncoming demographic storm. Her district is gone and you can be sure any Democrats who rely upon a strong minority turnout will likely be in the crosshairs.
