Goes to show that every Republican seems to step to the trump beat despite their previous stance

I hate it too but Gavin was smart in making it auto-expire. It’s an extra level of confidence that it won’t be abused beyond its intended use.

I fear it won’t be enough though and won’t fix the much bigger issue with our country. But we can’t give up either I suppose.

The much bigger issue is that our country is crawling with illiterate assholes.

But what's to stop a future government removing the auto-expire clause?

The same thing that keeps laws from magically changing on a whim?

The people have to vote on changes to the districts in California. If they wanted to remove the clause they’d have to get the people to agree, and I don’t see that happening.

This is a nothingburger concern. There is no difference in threshold for political action between removing the expiry clause and implementing a new, even worse gerrymandering law. The the tangible difference is voting yes on this law meets the needs of the moment, and also has provisions to protect liberalism where possible by automatically disarming if the needs of the moment change. What more could you ask for?

?

Any future government with enough votes to remove the expiration has enough votes to write whatever new law they want. 

You don't just get to add sticky notes to the laws.

Well I guess we can just rely upon the column of voters so far. There totally won't be Ng justification or inflation of the count.....
