You are implying that the Democrats tend to only represent those with special interests that they have in common?  You seem to have forgotten that the real problem under discussion is not about water rights as it is about the rule of law.  In the early 1990s the Legislature put an initiative to the vote of the people that was soundly defeated by the voters.  The Democrat-controlled State Legislature passed the law anyway over the objection of the people.  In that law is the provision that the Court ruled the State did not provide implementation measures or enforcement for in their Hirst decision.  This poorly written law is at the heart of the Court decision that the State is in violation of.  Regardless of who you think the Democrats represent, the Legislature has an obligation to ALL of the citizens to write and adopt coherent laws that can be implemented and when they make a mistake they have an obligation to correct it.
