Democrats control both houses of the California State Legislature with 2/3 majorities, allowing them to pass any bills they wish, with no possibility of obstruction from the powerless GOP. As Democrats will when they feel empowered, they recently passed a major hike in gasoline taxes that will take over $5 billion a year more from the pockets of motorists. With the GOP powerless, what could possibly go wrong? ===== [snip] Caught by surprise, the California Dems reacted stupidly. ====== [snip] But trying to quash a recall election following a tax increase, and dragging three kids into court looks really bad...

Orange County used to be a decent place.
Hope these three prevail in the litigation and recall Senator Josh Newman (D).
IMO, this is the textbook definition of a SLAPP suit. IIRC, California has some fairly good anti-SLAPP protection. I hope that the Dhims get their heads handed to them.
Democrats own the state but they’re afraid of kids.
If Josh Newman is recalled, it’ll put a crimp in California’s one party state.
The Democrat Party has alleged that recall organizers, which also included dozens of local conservatives of all ages, lied to voters about the true nature of the recall campaign by claiming that the recall would repeal the gas tax.
Lied to Voters?? Have they ever looked at their own damned commercials and literature they create for the Teachers Union Nurses...???
Hope you are correct about the anti-SLAPP.
Wow! Great news.
Way to go, Amanda, Brook, and Ryan. 3 smiling young Republicans who have scared the liberal California democrat establishment.
Crazy that this type of law even has to exist but not surprising, at all. First I’ve heard of this law(s) anywhere. Thx
We still have great patriots in California! You GO young Republicans, please start a recall movement throughout this sorry state.
This is exactly what a SLAPP suit is about. Hopefully the courts award punitive damages against the Democrats.
The state that keeps rotting away.
Me too.
You’re welcome. Lawfare is as old as the law.
Does anyone really think they care “how it looks”? These people are hell bent on destroying anyone, by any means available, who doesn’t agree with them.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
I remember when the Tea Party got started.
Grannies and other regular folks standing on the street corners getting the attention of drivers using pans and spoons to make a racket.
These days one of the antifas would probably shoot us or try to whip us with a bike lock. /not humor
