Just what the Bush family ordered, you're right about that.
” The 9th issued a restraining order against 187 right after it passed.”
No. The 9th Circuit never reviewed Prop 187.
It was Mariana Pfaelzer who conspired with Grey Davis to strike down Prop 187. She was a US District Court Judge.
Prop 187 was passed while Pete Wilson was Governor. Pfaelzer quickly issued a permanent injunction and Wilson appealed.
But corrupt, activist hack Pzaelzer dragged out finalizing her decision for 3 years. Long enough for Pete Wilson to be gone and Democrat Gray Davis to be Governor. Davis withdrew the appeal, allowing Pfaelzer’s killing of 187 to never be appealed.
