Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is jerk and a half with a cherry on top, is promising to go to the Supreme Court after a federal court said “Hell no, cowboy” to Abbott’s request to stay the decision of the three judge panel who redrew the congressional lines after the Republicans got obscenely greedy.

Abbott wants the Supremes to redraw the lines, obviously back to where the GOP gets to slap every Democrat in the state and call them on the phone personally and ask if their refrigerator is running or if they have Prince Albert in a can, while laughing manically at how clever they are.

Okay, so Clarence Thomas might think that’s cool.  I know Mrs. Thomas would.  I understand that risk.  Look, Scalia won’t even give Thomas sharp pencils so giving him markers and a map might be something they do to keep him busy and away from inspecting every Coke can that comes in the building.

Meanwhile Democrats are lining up to run for those seats.  I woke up this morning giggling about that.
