Just for clarity it was actually Prop 187.

The ACLU filed against Prop 187, and U.S. District Judge Mariana Pfaelzer sat on her ruling supporting the ACLU until Republican Governor Pete Wilson was safely out of the way- this allowed Democratic Governor Gray Davis to cut a deal with Pfaelzer that kept her ruling from being reviewed by the Court of Appeals.

But Pfaelzer’s one-woman scuttling of Prop 187 didn’t have to be the end of Prop 187- it could still be appealed by whoever is Governor of California. This means useless, half-Democrat Schwarzenegger could have appealed it- but Arnold was a sock puppet of the GOP-e and they don’t want Prop 187 passed. Prop 187 was passed by grass roots voters, it was loudly opposed by a whole host of GOP elitists, including Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett, and Dubya.

Yep. A significant element of the Republican Party stinks almost as badly as the Internationalist Democratic Socialists (i.e. Democrat Party).

Unfortunately, that branch of the ‘Pubbies seems to include Romney. Worse, he seems to be all we have to run against Obama.

But the California weather is so nice, we should all bask in the sun between beatings in our concentration camps on the beach. I mean, who would ever leave this beautiful weather. Isn’t it worth all the torture of living in the gulags as long as the sky is blue and humidity is low? /SSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
