California can gerrymander all they want.

Yeah but Newsom doesn't create the districts. What Newsom is threatening to do is go around what Democracy has voted for.

One could hardly call CA a democracy when the States Elite continually negate what the populace has voted for.

For instance:
Prop 36 ...
Newsom insults California voters by not funding Proposition 36

Prop 187 ...
Federal Judge W. Matthew Byrne issued a temporary restraining order against institution of the measure, which was filed by State Attorney General Dan Lungren.

In November 2008, California voters passed the Voters FIRST Act, authorizing the creation of the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw new district lines, taking the job out of the hands of the California Legislature and transferring it to the citizens

And now Newsom is going to tromp all over the democratic process again. The point of these commisions isn't to do the right thing when its easy, but to do the right thing when its difficult.
