Thanks for your letter, Ms. Xuereb, in calling out the hypocrisy of Supervisor Jackie Speier (and everyone else) who is attempting to irrationally rationalize their support for the threat to democracy known as Proposition 50. As I’ve said in the past, their positions on Proposition 50 show us the depth of their moral compasses. It is amazing that these same Democrats have become the party of supporting and defending criminals and terrorists so is it any surprise that these folks would go along with wannabe dictator Newsom in putting party over people? Not at all. Let’s not forget their treachery when we vote in the future. BTW, we now see many Democrats celebrating a political assassination and going further left than the folks on The View. Imagine that, being further left than the folks on The View.

So, Grace, you think what the Democrats in California are doing with Prop 50 is tyranny. May I also assume you believe what the Republican majority in the Texas legislature did was also tyranny? Both states are doing the same thing, except in Texas the legislature did not put it to a public vote, as is being done here. What both states (and now others) are doing is allowed under the U.S. Constitution, but we all know why Texas started this.

Nice try, Rscollins, but a fail. Everyone (even the ones who’d like to conveniently forget) knows there is a difference between Newsom’s antics and Texas’s redistricting. Texas lawmakers are pursuing new congressional maps following a directive from the DOJ asserting that current maps violate civil rights laws. There’s no such directive to California. But now that wannabe dictator Newsom has started a redistricting war, I believe Missouri is attempting to finalize their efforts to replace a Democrat seat with a Republican one. We can only hope all red states will retaliate against California’s retaliation.
