We have 58 counties in CA and only 40 senators. We need 18 more so that each county would have a senator like before. Our rural county residents/voters are taxed just as heavily on our land as are metro county residents/voters... Thus we have taxation with inadequate representation.
The metro counties run all over the property rights of rural counties by installing things like The CA Coastal Commission and The Sierra-Nevada CONservancy which are gigantic regional governments of a highly questionable constitutional nature!!!
We can do nothing about this because we don't have the votes in at least one of the two houses of the legislature!!!
I completely sympathize. I think the federal bicameral system is brilliant. How ironic that the Warren court held that it is unconstitutional as applied at the state level. I don't know how the other Justices feel about it, but I sure would take one more vote to get rid of the rule, if that is how Alito sees this.
