Also don't believe the Republicans 'took it up a notch' as you seem led to believe. You should see the districts in Illinois... drawn by Democrats. Fingers reaching all over, every which way, across counties, in-and-out of Chicago with absolutely no reason or rhyme (EDIT: unless you're a politician). Frankly, I think the Democratic congresspersons from Texas who left the state to avoid the issue coming to a vote should be booted right out of congress. They were shirking their duties and making a bigger stink about it than ever should have been. I imagine the previous boundaries in Texas were just as bad - only favoring THEM instead of their opponents. *sigh* Sorry JD, we should probably have a 're-districting' thread...

It's a state issue - take it up with your state. But as Valandil said - the democrats had no problems with taking advantage of everythign while they controlled both houses. It has only been recently - since Bill Clinton that the Republicans have controlled both houses. Now that is the case - the democrats are whine whine whine. And if you think IR is impartial in his beliefs when it comes to democrats and republicans - I have a bridge to sell you that crosses the East River. Even with NJ's way of doing redistricting - people get up in arms about it and say that it is rigged and unfair. People don't like to have their districts changed and they have to. By the way - if you want to talk about this - I suppose there should be a redistricting thread.

Damn, now I know why 24 isn't on this week
![]() <---addicted to that show! I probably won't watch, only because the History Channel is running a special on Barbarians and the final 2 hours are Tuesday at 9pm EST. Tuesday's episode will be the good one too, as they will be covering the Huns ![]()

'Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

Did someone say they're selling a bridge???
![]() ![]() Anyway, partisanship aside, I really don't think it was at all right for the Texas Democrats to do their little "border cross / hang out at hotel" thing. For one, it was obstructionist and kept their state government from functioning, so it was a violation of the trust of the people of Texas. For another, I'm sure they continued to draw their salaries while not fulfilling the office to which they were elected. For another, I suspect their hotel bill went to the taxpayers of Texas. Imagine a 'real world' scenario: Suppose I worked for a large company, and me and a whole bunch of co-workers didn't like something that was going to happen there. So we didn't report in to work, continued to expect our pay, and to top it off, we all holed up in a hotel - and charged the bill to our company! Would we be keeping our jobs? Why should those legislators? I imagine they may have done more harm to their own party than the Republicans ever could do by redistricting - that is, if the people of Texas think about it in these terms. Oh - and imagine what those Democrats would say if the tables were turned and the Republicans pulled a stunt like that! |
