The first time it happened, I tipped my hat to the Texas House Dems for coming up with a neat trick despite the obvious and in your face move to thwart the Democratic process. Now the Senators have ran wee-wee-wee all way to New Mexico to avoid a re-districting bill before a special session of the Texas General Assembly.
It's such untoward behavior for a Texan, or at least the Texans of lore. When the Repubs were in the minority you didn't see them running with their elephant tails between their legs to Louisiana or Arkansas to avoid redistricting votes.
I wonder what Stephen Austin, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and any other number of old Texas heroes would think of the modern day Texas Democrats.
Cowards, perhaps?
"Nope, them thar fellas er yellah!"
