I wonder how many Typepad blawgs will go full Good Will Hunting and think, after 20 years, maybe it's time to just shut it down.

Here's the legal standard in California for the ballot label, which can be difficult to enforce in court:
JUST IN: We have the proposed ballot label and summary for Gavin Newsom's gerrymander Prop 50, barring any court-ordered changes that would need to be handed down by September 4th. AUTHORIZES TEMPORARY CHANGES TO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAPS IN RESPONSE TO TEXAS' PARTISAN

Rather than go through the ordinary notice-and-comment process, the ABA unilaterally sends a memo indicating that accreditation standards must "support and promote the rule of law."
The American Bar Association council that oversees U.S. law school accreditation on Friday adopted a new set of “core principles and values,” defining and defending its work amid criticism from the Trump administration and others.

Even if Texas didn't redistrict, a Democratic-controlled state engaging in mid-decade redistricting could trigger the California redistricting under the proposed constitutional amendment.
California’s redistricting ballot measure bills are now in writing: . ACA 8 - Changes constitution to allow proposed congressional maps to take effect . AB 604 - The maps . SB 280 - Funds the special election.
