    California has had paid medical leave since 1946 and paid family leave since 2002, so there’s already precedents.

        Fun fact: the only reason the supreme court has authority is because they said they do. And people have followed the norm of listening.

          Sort of. Marbury v. Madison did establish “judicial review”, but the Constitution did already specify that “The judicial Power shall extend to […] the Laws of the United States”. Marbury was really the test case that demonstrated this power.

          And yes, people followed the norm, which is how all of society operates, on norms and trust.

      They may have meant the state Supreme Court since that’s who struck down the redistricting so California law or precedent doesn’t matter.

      Unless it goes federal, but SCOTUS is rouge so who knows
