In Evenwel v. Abbott, the court is being asked to change how states draw legislative districts in a way that would boost the electoral power of white, rural voters, who lean Republican, at the expense of Latinos and African Americans, who tend to vote Democratic. The plaintiffs behind this high-stakes legal challenge are an unusual pair. One is a Texas tea party activist who has promoted a conspiratorial film suggesting President Barack Obama's real father was Frank Marshall Davis, a supposed propagandist for the Communist Party. The other is a security guard and religious fundamentalist who believes the Earth doesn't revolve around the sun and that unicorns were real.
Our Texas crazies not only serve in congress and occasionally become president, but they also sit on the SCOTUS and hear cases from other Texas crazies. Actually GW Bush the known village idiot is not Texan. He is a Connecticut Idiot carpetbagger. We just had to do something to get him out of Texas politics. He like Cruz does not measure up to true Texas crazies.
