Exactly this. It's been their plan, all along.

Judges can't just make X charges make Z sense. They still have to justify their actions to not get sued and have it immediately reversed by a higher court, in which case it still doesn't matter, because it still has to make legal sense.

... state (and federal) reps don't get a security detail unless there's a present threat. They're not assigned them by default at all. These folks are wholly on their own.

They are his Gestapo, after all.

"Our daddy issues 'father',

who art in the white house,

hallowed be they name on every fucking building you can find.

Your kingdom has come,

your 3 yo will be done,

on earth as it is in your fantasies.

Give us today your daily tantrum,

and forgive us our sins, but don't forgive the immigrants.

And lead us not into temptation,

for those trans and gay websites are truly hot.

For yours is our political loyalty so please don't hurt me.

MAGA Allwhitemen"

The Democratic governors have stated they will exert their power to protect them.

Problem is that we've all been taught for forty years that every problem is an individual problem, actually, and that nobody needs solidarity.

We've digested all the communal systems in this country and now instead of "we the people" it's all about "me the person".

The people already failed.

Democrats do it from time to time too apparently. It's just a tactic in our system that isn't used often.

More gross.

It's always been gross, and I never touched that state with a 10 meter pole.

This is a very serious gerrymander as well. The current house seats from texas are 65% GOP to 35% DNC. This would push them to 75% GOP and 25% DNC.

Do you know how texas votes statewide? 56.1% GOP. Yea, texas is already gerrymandered to fuck, they just want to fuck it way, way more.

Good on the dems to fight for actual representation.

Not gerrymandering just a change in registered voters. Now California is threatening to gerrymander. Real surprising.
