    Texas accused of purposely excluding minorities in redistricting
    http://www.dallasnews.com/news/poli...inorities-in-redistricting.ece?wpisrc=nl_rdin

    The U.S. Justice Department told judges Monday that Texas lawmakers carefully crafted electoral maps marginalizing minority voters despite the state’s exploding Hispanic population in a deliberate effort to racially discriminate and protect conservative incumbents.

    But the dump that California is turning itself into is completely sane.

    It's a losing battle anyways. Hispanic population is only going to grow larger no matter how they redistrict any county, Hispanics will still be the majority population. Can't wait for 2040 to come around. The Latino community won't be just an often times ignored voice. They will be the voice to discuss issues with from both parties.

    Glynch, Hayes hasn't posted much here in a very long time. You have posted the same comment whenever he has posted, about anything. He's clearly a moderate who was fooled like a lot of others, and has moved on. It isn't like Hayes has returned to drag the idiocy of Bush's invasion and occupation of Iraq into conversation again, nor have I seen him defend it in years. In his case, why don't you leave it alone? It's getting tiresome. You could consider saving those comments for the few true believers who continue to make fools of themselves. Hayes is not one of them.

    Please give it serious consideration. Thanks in advance.

    Left is running the country into the ground and all they care about is what the right is doing. Titanic is sinking.. time to put the violins down.

    That's stupid. You're BOTH running the country into the ground. Maybe it's time to get educated and learn how to compromise on issues for the good of the country like a grown ass man should.

    Power is largely concentrated in regulatory agencies.

    What is really funny is that you truly believe this to be reality, despite the fact that most regulatory agencies became captive and beholden to those they regulate long ago.
