If it gets bad enough, a Giuliani-type mayor could be elected.
Possibly. The trouble is that it would most likely take far more than one election cycle to fix the city, and the voters would be impatient. Since the city wasn't magically fixed overnight, they'll go back to the old ways.
“If it gets bad enough, a Giuliani-type mayor could be elected.”
That is not enough, the House and Senate and White House need to be cleansed of ‘rats and the judiciary geographically restrained.
States might authorized by federal law to allow voters to decide which of several possible federal courts shall serve them.
My choice for the federal judiciary for the Great State of California for the time period of the next Presidential term is (vote for one):
( ) The 9th Circuit
( ) The California Restoration Circuit
I would hope so, but then the state capital would do everything
in its power to defeat their efforts, to keep it from looking
like Conservative policy works.
