Will high court draw the lines?

[Gman]

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on the 2003 Texas redistricting. Its decision could change the future of politics as usual.

WASHINGTON - Three years ago, Rep. Tom DeLay and his fellow Republicans in Texas used their political muscle to draw new congressional districts. By changing the political map, they ousted six Democrats and gave the GOP a bigger margin in the U.S. House of Representatives.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments about the power play in four combined cases that could dramatically change the rules for political redistricting.

The court's decision, expected in the next few months, could give one party an important advantage in this year's election and have far-reaching implications on how legislative maps are drawn in the future.
