    > over 40 years combined Are you counting in base10? I count[1] 6 terms of 4 years each = 24 years. 67% off. Not bad for government work. If your argument is a Democrat in the governorship, since 1942 it's (R=47, D=30). Since 1958 it's (R=31, D=30). Republicans are at least equally to blame for California's governorship. In practice, the governor is largely about qualities of a single person. The legislature is heavily skewed D/blue because that's how density votes in the US.

  > Lorena Gonzalez is openly condemning the court system Can you explain your thinking here? From my reading, the law she wrote/sponsored was largely aligned with the Supreme Court of California interpretation of the Dynamex case.

    She says that they are “delaying justice” by taking their grievance to “the courts”. I read it as a condemnation of the courts as an obstacle to her view of what justice is. Any law maker should embrace a court challenge to their law. Suggesting the courts are an obstacle to their constituent’s is bad precedent.
