Calif. AG Sues Governor Over Redistricting---good news

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- California Attorney General Bill Lockyer filed a lawsuit Friday to remove Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's redistricting initiative from the November ballot, saying supporters violated the state Constitution when they significantly changed the measure's wording.

The measure asks voters to change the way district boundaries are drawn for members of Congress and the state Legislature, which is dominated by Democrats. Schwarzenegger, a Republican, wants to take redistricting power away from the state lawmakers and give it to a panel of retired judges, a process he said would create more competitive elections.

Lockyer, a Democrat, filed the lawsuit to block the initiative late Friday afternoon in Sacramento County court.

But GOOD JOB, Bill! :rofl:

he was smoked into believing that Arnoollld crap,
he has now smelt the BO under the perfume of Arnoolld's moderate repugnican falsehoods
and doesn't want to smell like him. so good news.

except to shore up his base in the party

this is a CYA thing and nothing more

I doubt he would know the right thing if it came up and bit him on the ass

The last thing that I would ever want is a Delay style texasification of my state. This IS the LEFT-COAST & don't forget it repukes!
