re: #139 Political Atheist

For completeness, the GOP minority in the state legislature has had a marked tendency to play the part of a spoiler on anything that needed 2/3 votes to pass (such as state budgets, until recently).

The recent removal of some of these 2/3 requirements combined with GOP representation going to less than 1/3 in the legislature threatens to make the CA GOP completely irrelevant to state governance.

So far, the CA GOP response to this problem appears to be to go after recently enacted protections for transgendered kids in schools.
