I'm hoping people interested in the Texas
congressional redistricting case will comment on
whether the Court's acceptance of the post-oral
argument amicus is exciting news or not.  The sentence
"the change (to the boundaries of 3 State Senate
districts) was made to boost the prospects of the
Republican candidate Bill Cowsert, who is the
brother-in-law of the retiring incumbent state
senator, by excluding from the district the resident
of Cowsert's leading Democratic opponent, State Rep.
Jane Kidd of Athens" certainly is pithy.  Also the
note that the Governor waited two months to sign the
bill until a few hours after the March 1 US Supreme
Court oral argument.
