The California Supreme Court, dominated six-to-one by Democratic appointees, rejected a Republican challenge to the legality of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) attempt to redraw the state’s congressional districts Wednesday.
The court said that it was all right for Democrats in the state legislature to evade a 30-day minimum for new legislative proposals by replacing the text of existing bills with the gerrymandering language.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported:
The state Supreme Court opened the door Wednesday to plans by Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats to redraw California’s congressional districts in a gerrymander designed to pick up five seats, rejecting a Republican legal challenge.
A lawsuit Monday by legislative Republicans contended the hastily drafted ballot measure, scheduled for votes in both houses on Thursday, has not been published long enough to meet the public-notice requirements in the state Constitution. But the court dismissed the suit Wednesday in a brief order with little explanation.

While California law does not allow legislative action on a proposed measure until 30 days after it has been introduced, Democrats apparently sidestepped that deadline with a longstanding practice known as “gut and amend” — taking over other legislation that had been pending for more than 30 days, erasing the contents and replacing them with the redistricting language.

California Dems already gerrymandered. This just gives them the greenlight to gerrymander to a ridiculous level.
Gee, we may lose California at this rate.
So now it’s Florida’s turn to counter Newscum.
It may backfire on them. In order to try to gerrymander even more, they will have to weaken some currently solid D seats, that could then easily flip to R next year (especially true if the economy is good and mail-in voting forbidden).
I saw the picture of this bunch. It looks like the cast of that “Naked and Afraid” show. ROTFL! They DNC definitely owned this bunch and they’ve been weaponized.
Ludicrous Speed Gerrymandering..............
Yep, contiguous districts will stretch far and wid and they will all have on similarity - they will no longer represent the people in the district because the district incorporates too many different things. IOW, no farming districts or city districts - just districts that are based on historic party outcomes.
People and businesses are leaving cali in droves.....most recently Bed Bath and Beyond.
Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis announced on Wednesday that the company won’t open or operate retail stores in California due to higher taxes, higher fees and higher wages coupled with “endless regulations that strangle growth.
Keep voting democrat California......your on the road to being one of the poorest states.
Texas is going to have to go after five more seats. The Californians don’t have enough not RAT seats left to beat the Texas. LOL! They’ll be like the Communistwealth of Massatuschitz. They are already solid blue.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of GovernmentUS Const., Art. IV, Sec 4.
America and its Free Constitutional Republic of limited and representative gov't are a systematic assault on democracy and its tyranny of the majority and unlimited gov't.
This is a federal issue and should be overturned by the U.S. Suprme Court.
Exactly.
Just another reason for more people to leave California. And they will.
Yup
The court said that it was all right for Democrats in the state legislature to
Illegally
evade a 30-day minimum for new legislative proposals by replacing the text of existing bills.

pseudo CCP triad California Democrat party ?
How mob boss daughter piglousy of them.
I would have been shocked had they rejected the redistricting map.
It will most likely be approved by California voters b/c the base is made up of idiot voters and illegals with a healthy dose of vote fraud.
Exactly how Newsom beat a recall.
Agree California is a waste land beyond being saved.
The only way Commiefornia legislators can increase their level of gerrymandering is to outlaw the Republican Party.
Elections have consequences, we learned that from Obama and Biden.
Rigged elections have bigger consequences. In California, it’s been rigged for awhile. They need to re-district, cheat, get illegals voting, and do the fake ballot thing, as well as steal mail in ballots, to keep the Democrats in power. Once they bankrupt the State, and the State employees lose pensions, and people flee, it can be fixed. California just hasn’t gotten bad enough yet from a tax and services standpoint for the people there to overcome the things democrats have done.
