I agree with you, however that's unfortunately not possible. The California Constitution defines the redistricting process in terms of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission. We would need a ballot initiative to overturn it. I'm not aware of any initiatives to add such a provision to the ballot in 2020.

And then it would be the legislative branch mandating anti-gerrymandering, which according to today's ruling is the branch that should be doing it. So Gov Newsom totally should do it.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. There's certainly corruption to be witnessed on both sides of the aisle.

California districting is done by a nonpartisan commission outside the control of politicians and elections (except president/Vice President of USA) do not have parties in them (e.g. two republicans could be the two candidates for a seat).

So what? The House loses like 9 Republicans in that case. Without flipping the Senate, it is meaningless.
