    Remember, the GOP also has a racial gerrymandering case against CA. Same case, but the state and plaintiff are on the other side of the political aisle.

    The goal is to make sure the SCOTUS basically has to make a call that allows or stops this mid-cycle effort for both states. It’s going to require a lot of mental gymnastics to if they decided to give TX a pass, but not CA for the same damn case.

      That’s never been too hard for today’s conservatives, especially this SCOTUS. They’ve made a few rulings with some bullshit like “this thing is illegal in all cases except this narrow circumstance with Trump”.
