Editor,

There’s been lots of debate, pro and con, about passage of Proposition 50, which calls for redistricting of Congressional Districts in California, on a temporary basis to counter what Texas is doing.

Folks, methinks we’ve hit the jackpot with a perfect example of the irrational rationalization of the threat to democracy known as Proposition 50. Here we have Mr. Moody describing California’s existing plan as “our excellent districting plan” and “a fair districting system here in California” and “the fair districting system which California created” yet Mr. Moody is willing to blow up this “excellent” and “fair” plan to advocate for an “unfair” party over people plan that is a threat to democracy. Ironic.

Bottom line, vote NO on Proposition 50. Note that folks irrationally rationalizing their actions are sure to irrationally rationalize other actions that you won’t agree with. Count on it. And count on this “temporary” redistricting to be “permanent.”
