Good that Jim Lucas is speaking out against this move, but I had to chuckle at his statement, “I don’t believe Republicans should stoop to the level of Democrats on this issue.” It’s the Republican president who is demanding these actions, and Republicans in Texas who are going all-in.
You’re missing the longer term history Steve. Dems were ruthless when they were in charge.
Both parties seem to forget the old saying; “what goes around, comes around”. Both are guilty of doing things to bypass the legalities and then complain when the opposing party uses the same rules against them.
Ditto. Districts should be determined by a nonpartisan board.
