I just learned that I am in a different Congressional district

Unless this redistricted squiggled nightmare is successfully challenged in Court, my new district looks like this:


That loooonnng skinny leg on the left reaches down to grab a piece of Memphis. I think on the top right, it grabs Fort Cambell.
I just hope this will not pass muster in Court. The law breakers ... I mean lawmakers, had to remove the rule from the state's Constitution that forbade redistricting Congressional districts mid-decade, so they could then vote to do just that.
