"description": "SAN FRANCISCO - JUNE 02: A cashier bags groceries in plastic bags at Nijiya Market June 2, 2010 in San Francisco, California. California may become the first state in the nation to ban plastic bags from grocery and convenience stores. In addition to the ban, consumers would be charged 5 cents per paper bag if they do not bring their own reusable bags. Assembly bill AB1998 is supported by Gov. Arnold Schwarzengger and is expected to pass an assembly vote this week before moving to the State Senate for a vote later this year. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)",

"content": "\u003cp>It certainly has all the makings of a good dramatic script: partisan schemes inside the halls of power ... thwarted years ago by voters at the ballot box ... now facing the judgment of a court whose tie-breaking vote lies in the hands of a man who himself dabbled in the hurly-burly of state politics and government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The star of this drama is, perhaps not surprisingly, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. And the plot revolves around whether voters can wrest away from legislators the power to draw political maps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a hearing that lasted 61 minutes, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/13-1314_q8l1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">the official transcript\u003c/a>, the nation's highest court on Monday weighed the constitutionality of Arizona's independent redistricting commission -- a case that could not only strip that state's commission of its power to draw maps for the U.S. House of Representatives, but which also threatens the viability of a similar system here in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/194057080\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy has long been the man in the middle on the U.S. Supreme Court. But before pondering the various legal arguments in \u003cem>Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission\u003c/em>, let's remember \u003ca href=\"http://www.biography.com/people/anthony-kennedy-9362868#lawyer-and-judge\" target=\"_blank\">the biography of Justice Kennedy, born more than 79 years ago in Sacramento\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Described in \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/12/us/man-in-the-news-restrained-pragmatist-anthony-m-kennedy.html?pagewanted=2\" target=\"_blank\">a 1987 profile\u003c/a> as the son of \"a politically connected lawyer and lobbyist\" father, Kennedy was recruited in 1972 to help draft a statewide ballot measure for Gov. Ronald Reagan that would limit state government spending. (Note to those who are fans of foreshadowing: The premise of the initiative was that voters needed to do something that state legislators wouldn't do.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy's work on what became \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1,_Tax_and_Spending_Limits_%281973%29\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 1\u003c/a> seems to have won respect from Reagan, even though voters rejected the initiative. Kennedy was appointed to the federal bench in 1975, and we all know where both men went from there: Reagan to the White House in 1980, Kennedy to the U.S. Supreme Court as Reagan's appointee in 1987.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this is to say that Anthony Kennedy no doubt knows well -- more than any of his fellow justices -- the power that initiatives give to voters to work independently of legislators in writing laws. Which brings us to the case of Arizona's redistricting commission, created by … yep ... \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_Creation_of_a_Redistricting_Commission,_Proposition_106_%282000%29\" target=\"_blank\">voters writing their own law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Kennedy seemed squarely in the middle of the tug-of-war over the legality of Arizona voters cutting the state's legislators out of the picture when it came to drawing congressional districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/26/might-gerrymandering-return-to-california-via-arizona-lawsuit/\" target=\"_blank\">crux of the case\u003c/a> is whether the United States Constitution's guidance on elections to Congress limits involvement to an \u003cem>elected\u003c/em> legislature ... or simply allows decisions made through the use of a state's \u003cem>legislative power\u003c/em>, a power in which Arizona and California both divide between elected officials and voters at the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leaders of the Arizona Legislature who brought the lawsuit say the Constitution's words have one simple meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It means then what it means now, which is a representative body of the people,\" argued attorney \u003ca href=\"http://www.bancroftpllc.com/professionals/paul-d-clement/\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Clement\u003c/a> about Article I, Section 4: \u003cem>The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we object to is the permanent wresting of authority away from the state legislature,\" Clement, a former U.S. Solicitor General, told the nine justices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side was \u003ca href=\"https://www.wilmerhale.com/seth_waxman/\" target=\"_blank\">Seth Waxman\u003c/a>, also a former U.S. Solicitor General and representing Arizona's independent redistricting commission. \"Arizona,\" he said, \"defines its legislature in its constitution to include both the people and two representative bodies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court's more liberal wing seemed to largely ask questions and make arguments that support the independent redistricting commission's power to draw Arizona's nine congressional districts; its conservative members, on the other hand, stuck to the idea that only an elected legislature has authority to hold the reins of how a state elects its members of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Justice Elena Kagan, when describing how many laws are written in states like Arizona by voters flexing their legislative power: \"The sort of purity of the originalist argument that a 'legislature means a legislature,' well, we are miles away from that, aren't we?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from Justice Antonin Scalia, disagreeing that legislative power means more than just a body of elected officials: \"I don't think it was a consensus definition at all. You've plucked that out of, out of a couple of dictionaries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what of our main character, the jurist from California?

Ronald Reagan that would limit state government spending. (Note to those who are fans of foreshadowing: The premise of the initiative was that voters needed to do something that state legislators wouldn't do.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy's work on what became \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1,_Tax_and_Spending_Limits_%281973%29\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 1\u003c/a> seems to have won respect from Reagan, even though voters rejected the initiative. Kennedy was appointed to the federal bench in 1975, and we all know where both men went from there: Reagan to the White House in 1980, Kennedy to the U.S. Supreme Court as Reagan's appointee in 1987.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this is to say that Anthony Kennedy no doubt knows well -- more than any of his fellow justices -- the power that initiatives give to voters to work independently of legislators in writing laws. Which brings us to the case of Arizona's redistricting commission, created by … yep ... \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_Creation_of_a_Redistricting_Commission,_Proposition_106_%282000%29\" target=\"_blank\">voters writing their own law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Kennedy seemed squarely in the middle of the tug-of-war over the legality of Arizona voters cutting the state's legislators out of the picture when it came to drawing congressional districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/26/might-gerrymandering-return-to-california-via-arizona-lawsuit/\" target=\"_blank\">crux of the case\u003c/a> is whether the United States Constitution's guidance on elections to Congress limits involvement to an \u003cem>elected\u003c/em> legislature ... or simply allows decisions made through the use of a state's \u003cem>legislative power\u003c/em>, a power in which Arizona and California both divide between elected officials and voters at the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leaders of the Arizona Legislature who brought the lawsuit say the Constitution's words have one simple meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It means then what it means now, which is a representative body of the people,\" argued attorney \u003ca href=\"http://www.bancroftpllc.com/professionals/paul-d-clement/\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Clement\u003c/a> about Article I, Section 4: \u003cem>The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we object to is the permanent wresting of authority away from the state legislature,\" Clement, a former U.S. Solicitor General, told the nine justices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side was \u003ca href=\"https://www.wilmerhale.com/seth_waxman/\" target=\"_blank\">Seth Waxman\u003c/a>, also a former U.S. Solicitor General and representing Arizona's independent redistricting commission. \"Arizona,\" he said, \"defines its legislature in its constitution to include both the people and two representative bodies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court's more liberal wing seemed to largely ask questions and make arguments that support the independent redistricting commission's power to draw Arizona's nine congressional districts; its conservative members, on the other hand, stuck to the idea that only an elected legislature has authority to hold the reins of how a state elects its members of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Justice Elena Kagan, when describing how many laws are written in states like Arizona by voters flexing their legislative power: \"The sort of purity of the originalist argument that a 'legislature means a legislature,' well, we are miles away from that, aren't we?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from Justice Antonin Scalia, disagreeing that legislative power means more than just a body of elected officials: \"I don't think it was a consensus definition at all. You've plucked that out of, out of a couple of dictionaries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what of our main character, the jurist from California?

The hurdles are numerous: The legislation requires a supermajority vote of each house of the Legislature; powerful interest groups across the political spectrum will no doubt see it as something that could divert their dollars away from influencing elections; and it's entirely possible that smart campaign attorneys would find ways to spend money from these political committees that wouldn't trigger the tax (perhaps by \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2010/08/30/advocate-or-educate-the-magic-words-of-campaign-ads/\" target=\"_blank\">the familiar dodge of not \u003cem>expressly\u003c/em> calling for someone to vote yes or no on a candidate\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levine doesn't dispute any of that, but believes the time has come for a real debate -- considering legal rulings that limit the control over political cash and the ever-increasing tendency by interest groups to dump tens of millions of dollars into these committees that aren't affiliated with a candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is easy to make the case that independent spending is having negative impacts on the political process,\" said the assemblyman.\u003c/p>\n\n",
