the robes are scared.Confederates lose again.
However, Ca and NYS....it may favor the Republicans.
Just as well. The proposed division was ridiculous. 2 states with the coastal strip in one and the rest of the state in the other would make sense - not the plan they proposed.
If any states deserve to break apart, it should be downstate IL and upstate NY.
Darn. If Cali moves first, we can split Idaho six ways and Wyoming ten. That’ll ‘larn ‘em.
Court says: “You people don’t know what you’re doing. DENIED.”
Three great big seed pods.
That’s good. The thought of 4 more senators from California is frightening
There was never a doubt the politicians/political “judges” in Kali were never going to allow their power to be diminished by two-thirds.
Just saying, perhaps 90% of the signatories were Democrats from the coast.......and that didn’t take into consideration of the WHOLE REST OF THE STATE. (But Dems are like that. Ignore those that don’t agree with you and put a 3-State initiative on the ballot that would totally favor the Left.....in all 3 states.)
Of course they will not obey what any court says and do it anyway.
California is above the law.
What actual harm comes from anything appearing on a ballot? Even if it gets a majority of votes, there is no operative effect unless and until many other things happen... but that first "if" is pretty large as well. How can the CA SC decide that the appearance causes actual harm in and of itself?
I’d love to see Minnesota split.
One state would be blue - the inner cities of Minneapolis/St Paul plus the first and maybe some second ring suburbs.
One state would be red - essentially all the rest of the state minus the Iron Range a few cities like Mankato and Winona.
Not sure why some people here are cheering this.
This court just decided that a proposal should be removed from the ballot because it may be too “hard” to pull off if it passes.
That’s not the court’s issue to decide. If it passes, and ultimately falls apart, then so much for that, but the signatures were legitimately collected, and it ought to get its vote.
No one actually thought the state would ever allow a vote on such a thing, right?
Obama will get his 57 states and more
the robes are scared.While I think this is a very bad idea, it pisses me off that it’s a COURT saying it cannot be done.
Good. This plan was a scam as it left all three territories conveniently dominated by big cities, which would ensure all would produce Democrat results.
Beaten by the EnviroNazis, go figure. Do it anyway, f-them.
