8/8 In a republic, the constitution is designed to protect the people from the tyranny of the majority. However, in Gavin's world, might makes right. Gavin is trying to use his might to destroy the California Constitution so that he can amass more power for himself and his party.

7/8 Last week I filed a writ with the Supreme Court that the Court should stop the legislature from voting on the ballot initiative. We argued that the legislature had failed to wait 30 days after introducing a new bill before holding committee hearings on the matter. The.

6/8 We argue that the redistricting ballot initiative is unconstitutional because the California Supreme Court has ruled that the California Constitution only allows one redistricting per decade. See Legislature v. Deukmejian.

Dear California,. Tell your family, tell your friends, and tell your neighbors to vote NO on Gavin Newsom’s partisan power grab.

Gavin Newsom's claim that mid-decade redistricting is highly transparent is as misleading as his claim that we would shelter in place for 2 weeks to flatten the curve. If the process is transparent, why don't we know who paid the partisan political consultant to draw the lines?.

Nancy Pelosi has always opposed the Independent Redistricting Commission. Now she has found her excuse to put the commission on ice. She does not care that her little Gavin must violate the California Constitution five times, all she cares is that the commission is destroyed.

California's Constitution mandates that Congressional districts "shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness such that nearby areas of population are not bypassed for more distant population.". Here are a few of Gavin's most interesting violations:. The Elephant Nose
