i wish when i was governor of california, that it would have been like that. the legislators work it out so they can represent the people rather than the parties. i told john, i m going to come to your capitol. we re going to celebrate this. cheers. thank you. that s the way to do it. there s been a particularly robust reform effort in the state of ohio. but a lot of reformers say that it still doesn t take power out of the hands of legislators. they re not wrong. i don t think you can ever fully take politics out of the redistricting process. take, for example, arizona. arizona has an independent redistricting commission that s made up of two democrats, two republicans and a tie-breaking member. the tiebreaker approved a map that sought to maximize competitive districts. ....
And opposite the united states on a key human rights issue. you should know that your efforts to block negotiations and thwart reform were a contributing factor in the u.s. decision to withdraw from the council. another example of the u.s. under president trump isolating itself from the world. sara, thanks for joining me. i m going to start with you on this one. talk to me about the message this sends to the rest of the world when pulling out of the council? the u.s. has been trying to reform the council for the past year, but it hasn t gone fast and deep, and they have decided to walk away instead of seeing the reform effort under way until the end and it further isolates them from the rest of the world. this is not the first time they pulled out of a multilateral entity. and if you look at the overarching frame where we see where the u.s. is on human rights, we see a retreat across ....
