Maps, Balls, and Testifying
Strange testimony and stranger bedfellows at the federal redistricting trial

We have a saying here in texas, "Don't mess with Texas". Reason being
we got too many fucking nut's that ought to be hauled off by the nice young men, in their clean white coats, coming to take them away ha ha, to the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time!!!!!

But NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
These brainless bible thumping gun toting bastards are going to drive us all as crazy as themselves.

Here is a classic example of why Waylon wrote Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.

Romper Room kids are adults compared to these freeloaders!

(snip)Last Thursday afternoon, as the cross-examination of state
witnesses in the congressional re-redistricting federal trial
proceeded, Rep. Ron Wilson, D-Houston, offered to show his
balls to H. Lee Godfrey, the Houston attorney questioning him
on behalf of Democratic plaintiffs suing to stop redistricting.
Godfrey had just pointed out that Wilson comprises "100
percent of the African-American legislators" supporting the new
Republican redistricting plan.

"I am the only one who had the 'things' big enough to do it,"
Wilson had responded, to which Godfrey replied, "I presume the
'things' you refer to are not visible?"

"You want to see them?" asked Wilson, inviting the lawyer to
the witness stand.

1. This is how we have been divided
Redistricting across the nation in all of the respective Repug controlled state legislatures have made, in their gerrymandering, African-American majority districts. The end result being to dilute the overall Democratic representation. So, on the good side we have an assured African American representative in congress but the net result in the redistricting is we have less Democrats in congress. Therein lies the delima...more African-American representatives but no majority party to actually pass the legislation that would be favorable to those constituents. What to do???
