I thought that Texas had been redistricted by the Repubs just 3 years ago following the last census - - just as Texas law provided - - and the next redistricting wasn't supposed to occur until the next census except Tom Delay (not even a member of the Texas legislature) decided to have an "early" redistricting plan drawn up that was even better for the Repubs than the last. Am I right here? And if I am, why shouldn't the Dems resort to the only defense they have left? If the other side starts cheating, leave the game or continue playing at your peril.
