Considering they weren't asked to rule, this may be a jackboot court attempt to save the far left CA state government.

No furloughs means mass firings or bankruptcy.

Mass firings will cripple thug public employee unions, but the Marxist government will survive. Bankruptcy (Federal receivership) will destroy the unions and Marxist bureaucrats.

Furloughs will save and retain power for ALL the bad guys in the state but the unions don't want to take the tiny cut, they rule with an iron fist.

The CA supremes may force furloughs to save the CA government Marxist tyranny, unions and their own power.

My first thought exactly.

Since lower courts had already ruled against Schwarzenegger, if the SC wanted to tank the issue they could have just waited around until somebody appealed those rulings, denied review, and been done with it. This sounds like they're trying to accelerate the process, which I find mildly encouraging.
