You’re not black or female or gay. You don’t count.

Your answer lies within California law and the California constitution.

Gotta make sure she’s registered to vote in CA though. I hope they don’t miss that step when she becomes a senator. Can you vote on legislation before the senate if you’re not registered to vote in the state you’re representing?

Applying the evidence I’ve seen…ONLY…if you speak Spanish.

I was there a few weeks back in '82. I am officially announcing my candidacy.

I identify as black, lesbian and have a Hah-vad PhD in Queer Theory with a Master’s in CRT.

So what’s the proper length of time one must reside there? She lived there, I lived there…

What’s the quota number?

They will defend anything.

Questioning it makes you a racist, misogynistic, homophobe.

I don’t know if the US Senate has a rule like that, but I doubt that they do.

You just think he’d be able to, you know… find a resident of the state for this role.

She lived there for 12 years before moving to head a non profit.

Now she will be moving back. Seems ok to me.

I lived in CA for a year and a half in the Army. Guess that makes me qualified too.

She lived there a lot longer than you…

You will be presumed to be a California resident for any taxable year in which you spend more than nine months in this state.

I suppose in the end it’s up to the people of California to react to the choice of someone from Maryland being appointed their senator. And let’s be honest…Californians have stood by and watched their beautiful state be destroyed by the nutjob left.

In general we the people need to start rejecting this “I will appoint someone because he is a she and of a certain ethnicity…” because that very pledge rejects the simple idea of qualification and competence…even before you get to ideology.

I’m sure she understands politics…does she know squat about California beyond “legalize abortion” and whatever other talking pints she is handed. Gavin newsom just appointed a person not because she is qualified but because of her skin color and gender from about as far from California as you can get to represent Californians…

I ll be shocked if there much pushback beyond this discussion.

She Has a home in CA.

And Maryland? How?

I’m not sure what makes one “qualified” for the senate. However since this was a hand selection, Californians didn’t get to weigh in on her through the ballot box.

She will serve out the remainder of the term and if she decides she wants to keep the seat, she will run and we can judge her based on that.

Oh. Y’all real mad.

Not at all. I’m laughing.
