At least they don't get lifetime healthcare or a pension.

BTW, the courts have thrown out several Republican redistricting maps already.

throwing out untenable candidates makes sense. for either side.

it's why we didn't nominate howard dean in 2004.

and the supreme court took the texas case to toss section 5 and approve the republican redistricting plan (+3 republican seats) rather than the the appeals court districts (+3 democratic seats)

i could be wrong about kennedy but it looks 5-4 to me.
