The Supreme Court upheld most of the Texas redistricting pushed through by former Rep. Tom Delay... see the initial report here. Two quick hits... lawmakers can redraw the map anytime they want (so, if there's a change in party control, the Supremes just ok'd congressional redistrictin, it seems, every time), and the Texas legislature overstepped its bounds on some of the minority redistricting when they shifted lines around Hispanic neighborhoods.
More to come...
UPDATE... here's the PDF of the opinion.
