In reply to the discussion: Speaker Johnson vows to fight California Democrats' 'illegal power grab' [View all]Figarosmom
(7,828 posts)35. All those words mean NOTHING.
The RNCC can't do shit about it. Elections are state regulated and Republicans in states where they are minority can do as they please. They know that from the way they have operated in states they are super majority. Johnson must think the other states they rule can squeeze out some more seats. But I think they are so gerrymandering they can't. Either way there are more seats to be gotten on the Dem side. Even Cal.can figure out a way to get 9 if need be.

What Texas did was LEGAL. If California did the same exact thing, it would be ILLEGAL.
