The Justice Department has said the GOP Map, redrawn this summer, meets all the standards of the Voting Rights Act! Does this come under the journalisim rules of "man bites dog", or "dog bites man"?

Excellent! But can the courts still overrule?

It is excellent news. But, do the Texas or Federal courts get a say?
To: sinkspur
This has some folks contemplating the upcoming election, namely M. Frost whose district is being done away with. Hmmmm .... Heard he might be looking to the 26th to run.

I believe the courts still have the final call, but the DOJ's determination virtually guarantees the result.

But, do the Texas or Federal courts get a say? Yes. The three-judge Federal panel has scheduled closing arguments for Tuesday morning to give the Justice Department time to rule.
The good news: it is a GOP-friendly panel, and another court ruled just today that the Texas Legislature can, according to the Texas Constitution, redistrict any time it wants.
I'd put a large wager on this map receiving approval of the judges.

Rick Perry's going to get a big boost out of this for sticking to his guns and forcing this through the Legislature.
I don't think Bush would have done it.
