Trump's DOJ is claiming that the Prop 50 map is racially gerrymandered which is unconstitutional. Congressman Kiley said in passing it's politically gerrymandered which the Supreme Court has ruled is constitutional. In any case it's hypocritical and a farce.

(101,847 posts)In any case, the argument that the map is racially gerrymandered, and exclusively racially gerrymandered at that in violation of the Equal Protection Clause is farcical.

(200 posts)Unlike the red states, Democrats in California allowed voters to make the decision and I don't think the GOP have a leg to stand on. I guess the GOP would like to sue every single voter who voted yes, but I think they'll lose every lawsuit they file.
