U.S. District Court in Texas Dismisses Second Attempt by Congressman Ronny Jackson to Stop California Redistricting Measure

On October 31, U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, dismissed a second lawsuit filed by Congressmember Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) to invalidate the California redistricting ballot measure that is before California voters on November 4. Jackson’s first lawsuit had been dismissed by the same judge on October 23 on standing grounds.

The second lawsuit differed from the first by the addition of a California Republican congressmember, Darrell Issa, as a co-plaintiff. But that didn’t overcome the standing problem. Here is the decision in the new lawsuit, Jackson v Weber, n.d. Texas, 2:25-236

  1. What a bizarre case. The first case took about two months to conclude since the court had to let Weber and Newsom to respond. The second case took about a week and didn’t even require a response from Weber and Newsom. I doubt a district court in Texas has jurisdiction over doings in California.

    And then there is an amicus brief in the first case. Way off the rails.
