Good-Bye, Hello: Special Session Starts

Scarcely had the sine die been said over the ending of the 83rd Legislature yesterday before Governor Perry called an immediate Special Session on redistricting maps.  Since we still don't know what the U.S. Supreme Court is going to say about the Voting Rights Act, the only thing keeping Texas Republicans from constantly redrawing the state's maps to disenfranchise minority voters, this should be interesting.  Most likely in a bad way.
