The aggressive gerrymander could help Democrats flip as many as five House seats next year. While that could neutralize new maps in Texas, Republicans are redrawing more district lines elsewhere.
Term Limits, Inc v Thornton and Bates v Jones are both cases where the federal courts ruled on similar issues (California ballot propositions). I’m not a legal scholar, but if federal courts can determine jurisdiction in those cases, why wouldn’t they in this one?
Never mind the “who’s gonna stop them” issue.
