The California Supreme Court will not prevent Democrats from moving forward Thursday with a plan to redraw congressional districts.
Republicans in the Golden State had asked the state’s high court to step in and temporarily block the redistricting efforts, arguing that Democrats — who are racing to put the plan on the ballot later this year — had skirted a rule requiring state lawmakers to wait at least 30 days before passing newly introduced legislation.
But in a ruling late Wednesday, the court declined to act, writing that the Republican state lawmakers who filed the suit had “failed to meet their burden of establishing a basis for relief at this time.”
But congress doesn’t actually do anything anymore. King Trump holds all the power and as it stands now, congress is mostly ceremonial.
Congress doesn’t do anything right now because the Republicans have so little of a majority they can’t afford to lose votes.
If they go full majority it further legitimizes Trump’s agenda when laws are written specifically for him.
And your counter suggestion is what, rolling over?
The only thing that solves fascism is incredible violence. There’s just no way to get enough people to act yet. It will happen when people run out of reasons to comply with laws that only apply to them, but theres going to be a lot of suffering and misery inflicted on us all before enough people say fuck it and grab a brick.
Because the Democrats are the minority. If they pick up 3 or 4 seats in the midterms, they can actually do something about it
Reminds me of 2018
That dem majority really turned things around…
Surely giving up and trying nothing will turn things around!
