PROPOSITION 50 IN COURT TODAY

By Bob Walsh

 

A side by side comparison of California's congressional maps

 

Proposition  50, the CA state ballot initiative pimped by Gavin Newsom as a 'fuck Donald Trump" measure, is being heard in the Federal District Court for Central California on Monday.  


The plaintiffs, including the United States Dept. of Justice, allege that the proposition, which passed by a large margin in November, is unconstitutional due to the fact that it is intended to increase the political power of Hispanic population blocks and will in fact have that effect.

The political operative who has admitted to making up the map that was approved has said on the record that it was drawn to do just that.

I expect that we will hear pretty promptly on this as it effects the election next year.  The filing window for the House of Representatives offices from CA opens in the next few days.
