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.”
It’s the California state court, stacked with California liberal judges, who are all aligned with the majority Democratic Party. I’m not shocked to see them rule in the state legislature’s favor.
More interested in seeing if a federal court, stacked with more conservative judges, chooses to intervene.
