U.S. District Court Dismisses Lawsuit Over Size of California Legislative Districts

On November 29, 2018, U.S. District Court Judge Kimberly Mueller dismissed the lawsuit Citizens for Fair Representation v Padilla, e.d., 2:17cv-973. The eleven-page opinion says none of the plaintiffs has standing, because the problem complained of is common to virtually all Californians. The opinion also says the case concerns a political question that is outside the jurisdiction of courts. The plaintiffs had argued that ordinary Californians, and especially those who are members of ethnic minorities, have no real representation in the legislature, because the population of each legislative district is so vast. There are almost 1,000,000 residents of each State Senate district, and almost 500,000 in each Assembly districts. The plaintiffs have not appealed.

  1. One more case having perversions about lack of *standing* and *political questions*.

    MORON courts can not detect NO violations of LAW == NO civil injury == NO case.

    NO such thing as a *political question*

    — EACH act/omission does or does NOT violate the LAW.

    On to the next moron case with moron judges

    — esp in SCOTUS with its appointed totally political robotic moron HACKS.

  2. USA Pop now about 325 million

    USA Senate ave- 50 States = mere about 6.5 MILLION.

    USA Reps ave = mere about 750,000.

    About ZERO connection with *average* USA Citizen — for many decades.

    IE ANTI-Democracy oligarchs with their special interest gang oligarchy machinations

    — esp INSANE annual deficits and total govt debts — periodic UN-declared foreign wars

    — business as usual control freak STATISM.


    PR and AppV
