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.

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.
