Court Nixes Part of Texas Political Map

WASHINGTON

The Supreme Court on Wednesday threw out part of a Texas congressional map engineered by former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, saying some of the new boundaries failed to protect minority voting rights.

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing for the majority, said Hispanics do not have a chance to elect a candidate of their choosing under the plan.

How's that??? There are elections where I can't elect a candidate of my choosing but hey, that's life.
