Actually, we castigated the court that threw our your Proposition 186, same as we do when they try to undermine Voter ID and Immigration enforcement. But the courts are beyond our reach, just as they are beyond yours.
And that doesn’t change the fact that certain urban areas in the PDRK and around the country enthusiastically supported illegal aliens and became “sanctuary cities.” However, we failed to to pressure our leaders to cut off all State and Federal monies from these lawless cities.
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.
