The Trump administration is attempting to block California’s new congressional map that was approved by voters last week, which would create five additional House districts favoring Democrats.

The Justice Department sought to intervene in a lawsuit on Thursday originally filed by the California Republican Party, which looks to prohibit the state from implementing new maps. Gov. Gavin Newsom and other California Democrats campaigned for the new map in response to President Donald Trump’s push to draw new maps in Texas and other states to create more Republican-leaning districts.

“California’s redistricting scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process,” Bondi said in a statement. “Governor Newsom’s attempt to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of Californians will not stand.”

3. And Texas and the other red states?...

per the 6 UC SC already approved it?

But Gov Newsom put it on a ballot where California voted and approved it the way democracy should work.

It just proves the Republican Party don’t believe in fair and balance nor democracy,

“Governor Newsom’s attempt to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of Californians will not stand.”

6. Un-fucking-believable.

So it's entirely legal and desirable for red states to gerrymander to get more House seat for Rs, but it's illegal for a blue state to redistrict to gain seats for Dems?

I don't get how this works. Are the Rs God's special flowers that are entitled to have the law be weighted in their favor?

They're really planning on taking over the country permanently, and never giving up power again, and think they can do it with an impimatur of legality.

If they actually try to enact this, we'll have civil war in this country.
