This is the one of the shocking, underreported issues of this matter. It’s shocking to me that a state is sued over a law, and high officials of that state made a conscious decision not to defend the state in a court of law.

Would Attorney General Moonbeam have decided not to defend the state in a lawsuit over its global warming law? Or any other law for that matter? How about Governor Terminator?

They are both derelict in their duties by not enforcing the law and doing their jobs. Part of their jobs involve defending the state in lawsuits. The state is sued all the time on various matters. Are there any others where the state officials simply stand aside and say, that they won’t defend the state in a lawsuit? Do they only do that on “gay” oriented laws? Any examples where this has happened in the past?

Does anyone represent California voters?

Sure. Our betters represent us. And when we vote wrong, they tell us so, and fix it for us.

Can you imagine the tar and feather party they would have had if this happened 100 years ago—even 50 years ago? One judge usurping an entire mandate from the electorate?

CA has been neutered apparently.

That’s why I’m so glad I live in Massachusetts! Our “representatives” don’t even let us waste our time by letting us vote on this issue! <sarc

The Arizona Atty General, Terry Goddard-D, said he didn’t agree with SB 1070 but would defend it in court. Gov Brewer replaced him with private attorneys paid for by donations. I don’t know that the private attorneys did a good job but certainly did no worse than an Atty Gen who has no passion for the case. You can’t fight a judge who ‘knows better’ than the overwhelming percentage of voters who passed SB 1070 here. Goddard is the D running against Brewer in November for Governor. Any bets on how well he will do?

Does anyone represent California voters?

Sure. They're called "Texans" or "Arizonans."

Voters are only necessary to supply cover for power.

If they refuse to supply cover, they are to be ignored.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Stuff happens,, can California get it’s ‘jiggy’ back?
