    What's the point of passing the bill if they're not willing to override the veto? They're just letting Gavin Newsom be the spoiler, even though others would step up to spoil if he did not

      the CA congress hasn't over-rode (overriden? overrid?) a veto since somewhere around 1980. the point of passing the bill but not overriding the veto is that way the congresspeople can signal to their constituents that they are progressive but they don't actually have to change anything or make anything better.

        I wonder what happened

        the Assembly has been in Democratic hands since the 1970 election

        The Senate has been under Democratic control since 1970

        (With some very brief exceptions)
