A reminder that there is a lot of ongoing litigation around the drawing (and redrawing) of congressional maps. My firm is currently involved in more than a dozen cases in 10 states: AL, CA, GA, LA, MO, NC, NY, TX, VA and WI.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Your analysis assumes this regime will “follow the rules” and obey the laws passed by Congress. You act like this is “business as usual.” I really thought you knew better.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com what makes you think this regime will increase SNAP payments? What makes you think federal workers will be rehired and paid? You act like this regime will follow any bill that is passed. They haven’t so far.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com there was no compromise on the vote. Dems and thus the American people received NOTHING!!! THERE WAS NO COMPROMISE. Your analysis, IMHO, is totally wrong headed.
