Tit-for-tat redistricting is no way to run a country. But here we are. I voted in favor, even as I felt sick about disenfranchising voters. But I did not vote for prop 50 to recover the house seats that Texas is stealing. I voted that way to force the Supremes to quit weaseling around.

The Supreme Court has been dodging Texas, but they will not be able to dodge California. Their wealthy keepers will demand it, and the justices will face a choice: openly declare that they are in the thrall of wealthy donors, or stop all the nonsense in all the states, and require states to conform to standards that ensure equal representation.

I hope the Supreme Court declares Prop 50 unconstitutional.

BUT – if they stop California gerrymandering without addressing Texas, then we know the judicial branch has been bought, the three branches of government are now one, and the revolution is at hand.

And yes, I know what the word “revolution” means in this context.
