“What if you were allowed to vote only because it didn’t make a difference? What if no matter how you voted the elites always got their way?”

Nothing new in California.

We passed Prop 187, the illegal alien law, only to have it killed through the subversive collusion of Judge Marianne Pfaelzer and Governor Gray Davis.

What most do not know is that this collusion permitted Pfaelzer’s decision to stand without it being reviewed by a higher court. So one activist judge overruled the votes of the people of California.

And Prop 187 could gave been appealed to a higher court if Schwarzenegger had moved to do so- but good GOPe hack that he was he didn’t do it.

Next there was Prop 8, the marriage prop, overturned by homosexual Judge Vaughn Walker. Another victory for elites over the majority.

With federal judges voiding the will of California voters, a la raza Democratic Party with a supermajority, a Republican party controlled by the GOPe, and Presidents Bush and Obama refusing to deport illegals, voting in this state is pretty much meaningless.

It has occurred to me that this is how a republic falls apart. Not with a quick collapse but slowly so that people get used to political elites rendering their votes worthless.

The courts have undermined, if not destroyed the guarantee of republican government to the states.

Scotus also found that illegal alien mothers can bestow American citizenship, that illegal children must be educated in local public schools, that English only government is unconstitutional.

You are right.
