As I predicted, Tom DeLay hasn't let an unfavorable ruling and tepid-at-best support stop his drive to redraw Congressional districts in Texas. At this point, the best strategy for Democrats is probably to try and run out the clock on the Legislative session, which ends on June 2. After all, if there's no time to "fix" the school finance system, something which was a major Republican campaign issue last year, then I hardly see how there's time to debate a divisive and partisan issue like redistricting. (Never mind the fact that we still don't have a budget passed yet.) Make no mistake, though - Tom DeLay is completely impervious to such logic. He won't rest until he gets what he wants.
