Texas officials are asking the Supreme Court for an urgent ruling to revive the state’s newly drawn congressional map expected to net five additional Republican seats.

The emergency appeal filed Friday evening asks the high court to put a hold on a lower court’s decision Tuesday that found racial considerations likely unconstitutionally tinged the new map.

Texas’ petition formally asks the justices to weigh in on a matter that could determine control of the House in next year’s midterm elections. A ruling by the high court to restore Texas’ new map would make Democrats’ path to retaking the majority more difficult. Justice Samuel Alito ordered civil rights groups challenging the new map to respond to Texas’ request by Monday afternoon.

2. They really are dumb as a box of rocks.

That map was drawn assuming the R’s would keep the Latino voters that went for tdump. The polls show that’s not going to happen. The court handed them an off ramp but they are too stupid to take it.
