Per SCOTUS, initiative created redistricting commissions may be l'histoire

So the supreme court is going to destroy CA republicans? I remember one of them was particularly an ass hole (his comments about the raking member of something). I can"t remember.
Good riddance.

Can the Supreme Court rule in such a way so that this only applies to AZ and not CA?

I don't think so.
The other situation would be possible I guess?

The AZ independent commission has 4 state legislators members, while the CA independent commission: 0.

Torie, really, I don't see how CA republicans wouldn't be decimated .

How many seats would the democrats get with this map?
Would the majority leader be in trouble?

7 would be the max meaning they would lose 7 seats. Factor in a loss of 2 seats in AZ, and you have a net loss of 5. If we give the two swing districts to the Republicans, that is still a gain of 5 districts in CA for the Democrats.

Do you believe the democrats would be able to draw an even more anti republican map?
