Newsom calls special session to ‘Trump-proof’ California
Cal Matters ^ | Alexei Koseff and Jeanne Kuang

Posted on 11/07/2024 12:26:36 PM PST by hillarys cankles

Gov. Gavin Newsom today called newly elected state lawmakers to work as soon as they’re sworn in on Dec. 2 for a special session to “safeguard California values” as the state prepares — again — to be a liberal antagonist to the upcoming Trump administration.

In other words: Gear up for lawsuits.

In a proclamation declaring the special session, Newsom said he wants the Legislature to approve funding for the Department of Justice and other state agencies to “immediately file affirmative litigation.”

Legislative sources said the special session is intended to be narrowly focused on providing legal resources to the attorney general’s office — perhaps as much as $100 million — to fight the Trump administration. The goal is to appropriate the money before Trump is sworn in on Jan. 20, though given how many new members are joining the Legislature, they may not be ready to act until early January.

Newsom has to be the biggest drama queen on the entire left coast. A real dickhead.

Sounds like a state government promoting insurrection to me.

I hope President Trump takes back the Federal money again for the high speed railroad that Biden gave back to them.

GOP must make getting California a top-priority. For too long they’ve sat back and done nothing.

Running candidates like Steve Garvey ain’t gonna cut it.

Cut them off. No federal money. At all.

Close military bases, post offices, move federal employees to other states, close offices, etc.

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government
US Const., Art. IV, Sec. 4.

The federal gov't has but a few constitutional powers over the States. One of them is if the state violates or defrauds the true vote of the people of that state, the federal gov't has the power to step in and stop the fraud.

So if Gov. Newsome and Co. have, are, and/or will, defraud the will and vote of the the People of California, it is the constitutional MANDATED DUTY of the federal gov't to put a stop to it. Constitutionally, California MUST have a decentralized representative form of government AKA "Republican Form of Gov't" (not party - FORM of Gov't).

Amen.

PDJT got 40% of the California vote. Creeps like Newsom should stop and think about how four out of ten of his constituents think on the subject.

Newsom is a greasy worm.
