http://www.fairdistricts.com/Initiative_Text.aspI noticed some stuff in here that I had not noticed before in the selection of the 3 "Special Masters." (That term gives me the shivers)
--The "Judicial Council" first "nominates" 24 judges.
--Perata(D), Nunez(D), McCarthy(R), and Ackerman(R) then get to select 3 of those 24 (each) as candidates for "Special Master", (reducing the pool to 12).
--BUT--they can only select candidates NOT in their own party. So, the only GOP possible nominees would have to be selected by Perata and Nunez. While the same is true on the other side of the aisle (McCarthy/Ackerman selecting Dems), I see the left as playing a much dirtier game.
The more information we glean, the worse this proposition is beginning to look.
