Yeah, thats why we're seeing oodles of houses now that the Democrats practically control all of california. Are you trying to argue that the current one party rule is a good thing?
I didn't say that. But the fewer Republicans there are in Sacramento, the better the chances of SB-50 (or something like it) getting passed.
Ummmm...you do realize the Dems hold supermajorities in both houses right? Do republicans have psychic powers they're using to control the Dems now?
A single state senator (one of the few Democrats who opposes SB-50) blocked the bill from being voted on.

The supermajority was irrelevant.

So you blame republicans and want even more Democratic control of the Legislature than they already have.
When did I blame Republicans?
