I suspect they will wait until after the California proposition 50 is voted on, and if it doesn't pass, they will say states rights, and it is fine, and let Texas proceed. However, if the California redistricting proposition passes they will be hard pressed to block it for California, but not for Texas. What kind of convoluted argument could they use in that case?
