Comment on F*ck off Arnie, you're out of your element!

Isn’t the redistricting going to happen no matter what? I haven’t read any news about Arnie’s involvement but if he’s supervising, that’s a good thing no?
Do you mean the redistricting in Texas? That’s why the Dem reps left the state, because they know they would lose the vote, but if they deny “quorum” (aka that there’s enough people to hold a session of the legislature) then a vote can’t be held.
This same thing actually happened in Texas back in 2003, but the Dems caved that time. Article: talkingpointsmemo.com/…/texas-redistricting-quoru…
Oh so that’s why they left? I was so confused about that situation because either PBS never said why or I missed it. Nor did any discussions I read about it.
No wonder they want the fucking FBI on them.

If Arnie was supervising, the outcome would likely favor his party, since he only cares when the other party is doing it.
