Can the states that actually have money sue Texas?
Except this redistricting is a voter led initiative- it will go through IF the voters approve.
We the people have the power not Republicants, No one but us all together in unity.
States Rights fight between states… am I doing this right?
Good luck with that.
They got some fucking balls! 🤦🏽♂️
Republicans need to get out of California!!
So it's ok for Texas to do this but not California. Are you listening American ppl.
Lmao, lol I laugh because at least he is asking the constituents to approve it. Screw them , with a rusty Fence pipe . Lol just kidding, don't do that !! Shit probably gonna get another warning from Bluesky
They got nerve, they're redistricing, but they want to block california from redistricing😳 and if the judge decides in their favor that says precedent, which will stop them from redistricting CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS🤣
Not necessarily. State law controls this process, and the law of California is different from the law of Texas.
Goes without saying that it's only *really* wrong when Democrats do it. Right?
Bullies hate it when you push back.
Gerrymandering for me but not for thee
I hope Dems are doing the same in Texas? Right?
I hope so too but I doubt it
Yes, they plan to. They can't sue until the new districts are passed into law.
Good, thank you.
Then how are California Republicans doing it?
Different state laws as they pertain to this sort of stuff. California' redistricting rules are enshrined into their state constitution; Texas' is not. I suspect California Republicans are suing to stop the special election, calling it unconstitutional.
Weird. They seem to love redistricting in Texas but not CA.
lol good one ya minions
Waaaaah! 😭
@texasdemocrats.bsky.social your move
California Assembly District 63 - Canyon, Norco, Riverside, Corona. You have a chance to flip the assembly seat next Tuesday 8/26!!
Californians - comment here if you want to redistrict! aelc.assembly.ca.gov/redistrictin...
Screw them
Are they doing the same for Texas? It didn't seem to bother them that Texas wants to do this.
Arrest them for the LOLs.
Whereas in Texas, Dems who would oppose anything the corrupt state GOP attempts are instead fleeing for their lives.
JFCoaRC
I'm sure this was anticipated.
They are of course against what Texas is doing as well right? RIGHT?
Not their state, not their problem.
And no more nationwide injunctions btw
Right?.. Unless SCOTUS says other wise, because they are corrupt af.
I'm afraid Dems would have to learn to ignore MAGA-controlled SCOTUS as well, while giving bogus excuses as well. Just like drump(stein) does. If MAGA can do this, why can't they, especially if it's about saving the democracy in the country?
It's only a matter of time until SCOTUS determines that there are TWO standards of law. One for MAGA and another for everyone else.
I think we’re already there… Most corrupt SCOTUS in our nations history
Then SCOTUS can go screw itself, its orders are not required to comply with. That's what I dream more Dems start to realize. Can't fight lawless people who twist laws and apply them selectively.
They will create some excuse and do whatever they want as long as it helps keep GOP majorities.
If they haven't filed against Texas, they have no business filing against California. What's good for the GOP is good for the Dems. Well, almost, I don't want that pedophilia disease spreading on the Dems, the GOP owns that one!
They're welcome to lose bigly.
Hahaha
NO NO NO Please help us @governor.ca.gov
Republicans can make up all the districts they want, their voters are by majority pissed off that their Representatives have relinquished their power to Donald Trump and basically doing nothing for their voters. Republicans can still vote against Trump aligned Reps.
So Texas can do it, but not California? And they're going to the CA SC court??? Excuse me?
As Governor he has the right to put a referendum on the ballot to ask the people to determine what they want to do about redistricting.
How many dem states have filed suit against what Texas is doing? Please someone tell me the democrat party has a response already in play to take Texas to court. We need more than just Newsom.
HAHAHAHA Oh, wait, they actually DID? Maybe they’ll want to combine their case with the one in TX …?
Is it illegal to send ripe corpses of small rodents to their offices? If we're doing this, my cat is standing by to help me fill my quota.
Did any Dems do that in Texas or doesn’t it matter there?
Huh. How about that?
Republicans are in a desperate all hands-on-deck to protect their minority rule. It has to be stopped.
What standing do they have?
Yet it’s ok in Texas? Give me a friggin break
Copycats. We called dibs. Effing twits
Indiana will be gerrymandering too. The Indiana delegation met with Trump and agreed to undermine democracy.
They’re f**king traitorous bastards.
California should go ahead with the plan, have a vote in november to get the constituents aproval, without implementing the redistricting yet, while still in court, but the aproval has to be taken this November
It will be interesting, if both Texas and California redistricting end up in front of SCOTUS!
At the same time. Gotta do it together to really point out the hypocrisy.
They have no legal ground. It's up to the voters.
What’s good for me is not for thee
No surprise. In California, it requires a special election. In Texas, just the Rethuglicans in the State House can decide. So, yeah, block the special election. We aren't fighting on equal terms.
Maybe Newsom shouldn't be so nice about it.
How the turned tables.
All the MAGA folks do is to make a Lawsuit.
Then they need to back down on Texas.
Lol
Have any Dems done that in Texas?
Represented by Harmeet Dhillon’s law firm - surprise surprise
Funny how that works.
Screw them
Republicans are scared now. They are gross, too.
SENATOR TONY STRICKLAND SENATOR SUZETTE MARTINEZ VALLADARES ASSEMBLYMAN TRI TA ASSEMBLYWOMAN KATHRYN SANCHEZ GOP. The party of FUCK YOU, I GOT MINE, writ-large.
“It’s so unfair! Whuttabout our right to win?”
Ok for Republicans in Texas but not Dems in California. 🤔
Let the people vote!
Florida's DeSantis is threatening to redraw maps, too.
Noogies - what’s good for the crooks is good for those that demand justice
"In California.." As if that's going to work.
The key here is that four "lawmakers" have sued. Aren't lawmakers the ones who approved the laws for Governor Newsom to call a special election?
Tell them good luck with that.
Hmmm. So when Republican state does it it’s ok. But not a democratic state. I see. Well then CA should sue Texas now.
But not in Texas, imagine that.
I hear Newsom is shooting for 5. Is that because 5 is all there is? If that's the case, fine. But if there are more, he should teach those MFrs a lesson and go for all.
Actually there are nine. I wish he would take them all. Seems like he’s shooting for five to match Texas, but we need all nine.
Yes, all possible seats. 1. Other red states may do it, while other blue states lack the courage, or are limited by procedure or law (though procedure/law shouldn't matter). 2. FAFO. If he only tries to match TX, he's playing nice with bullies.
As a judge my first question would be,"Are you submitting a similar filing in the state of Texas?".
Good luck with that!!😡😡
Whut!? Goose ok, but gander not ok? 😫😂
Here we go!
So the four Cali Repubs agree Texas is acting illegally ?
GMAFB
Wait, why didn’t they file to block the Texas one and the others in Red States that are about to happen?
Wah wah.
Awww! Start with Texas!
