So the largest/best economy in the USA has been destroyed/Crippled by our left wing fascist governor.
Remember, We recalled Gray Davis and a Left Wing Cali Supreme Court Justice.
On November 4, 1986, as one headline put it, voters “flipped the Bird” by a two-to-one margin. The first woman to serve on the state Supreme Court became the only chief justice in state history to be removed by a vote of the people, who did not stop there.
California voters also ousted Justices Cruz Reynoso and Joseph Grodin, both Jerry Brown appointees, who sided with Bird on the death-penalty cases. Justice Stanley Mosk remained on the court because, as he explained, “I took an oath to support the law as it is and not as I might prefer it to be.”
For all but the willfully blind the lessons here should be obvious. The people care about victims of crime, and the people dislike judges who elevate their social vision above the law. Judges who do that are out of touch with the people, and so are the politicians who appoint and confirm them.
In November 2016 the bipartisan ruling class is more out of touch than ever, and justices of the U.S. Supreme Court are appointed for life. They remain on the court even if they elevate their own social vision above the law, in the manner of Bird, Reynoso and Grodin.
