*Sigh*
Overlooking the obvious. From Salon's War Room:
"...The Supreme Court has agreed to hear four challenges to DeLay's Texas redistricting plan. Lawyers for Democrats and minority groups say the plan, which knocked five Democrats out of the House of Representatives, went too far in creating safe districts for Republicans and discriminated against minorities in the process.
"A grant of certiorari isn't a judgment on the merits, of course, but the Supreme Court wouldn't have agreed to hear the challenges unless at least four justices entertained notions of reversing a lower court decision that upheld DeLay's plan."
Or, I dunno, maybe at least four of the esteemed justices see an opportunity to certify, as it were, just the most demented, partisan, anti-democratic gerrymandering imaginable. Can that be? No, no, the War Room correspondent must be right.... Now, if Alito was on the court and voted to hear the case, then I'd know I was right.... But he isn't. Yet.
