HB-4780 went from "introduced" in the House to "ordered enrolled" after Senate approval in just under two weeks time.  This, in face of the overwhelming testimony provided in both the House and Senate redistricting committees opposing this map as it's currently drawn.  (Pull up all the testimony from every session of both committees to see what I mean.)

For the purposes of this thread, let's not get into the discussion of the relative merit or lack thereof of the proposed congressional reapportionment.  (That should be a whole other article unto itself.)  Let's just think about one question:  Why bother to protect a congressional seat when the congressman in question has decided that he's running for president?
