The order came at the request of Attorney General Ken Paxton, who O’Rourke accused in a separate lawsuit of going on a “fishing expedition, constitutional rights be damned.”

Meh… this is technically the right thing to do. First, it only applies in Texas. Second, right or wrong, it seems leaving thier posts when ordered back is “technically” illegal, again, only in texas for them. Paying someone to break the law is usually illegal. I am only a little fuzzy of if there is a real texas law about them needing to come back when ordered. It’s been hard to tell if that is a law or a “rule” of the state congress.
Trying to redistrict 2 years after a previous redistricting is also illegal. Next.
I’m not sure it actually is. No law against it. It’s a huge flaw in the system that the people elected also decide how the election works.
When the stakes are high, attempting to push every line is expected. Some say “if you aren’t cheating, are you even trying?”
This system will simply never be fair. It needs to be replaced.
Read a bit about it, I think you’re right. We redistrict every 10 years based on censuses, but states do redistrict between those decades. Seems slimy as fuck, and i agreed, it needs to be replaced.
