California's Democratic lawmakers have been blamed for decades for failing to fix the state's out-of-control homeless problem and are now pushing back, pointing the finger at left-leaning judges and liberal advocates who have held up street-sweeping efforts by arguing such policies violate a person's civil rights.
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) on Tuesday called a court order preventing San Francisco officials from clearing most of the tent encampments in the city "preposterous" and said people have acted in disbelief when he told them his hands were tied by the courts.
"The San Francisco order, it's preposterous, and it's inhumane," he told the San Francisco Chronicle. "It's incredibly frustrating."
The Democratic governor said he knew he would ultimately bear the brunt of the blame but added, "Damn it, they need to be accountable as well. These judges are wrong on these overriding sweeping orders."

The Bill Clinton move to the “center”.
Governor Tiresome screwed up that entire state
Those are Gov. Nuisance’s peeps.
De-institutionalization of the mentally ill.
He has encouraged it, he has signed it, definitely has not spoken out in a position to it, so he owns it.
Hey Gavin - you bought it - you own it...
As a California resident for most of my adult life, I can say with conviction that Gov. Greaseball has done more to turn the state into a sh*thole than any other ‘RAT @-hole.
Gavin being a big slimy liar.
Too little too late, you leftist scumbag.
/Will I be arrested by the FBI for calling a prominent Democrat a scumbag in a public forum? Not really joking.
What people on both sides of the spectrum miss about Guv Goodhair is that he has *no* ideology. HE could turn a dime and act as conservative as anyone the Federalist could ever want if the thought that was the way to get to the presidency.
Zero ethics except getting elected, doesn’t care about what color anything is that isn’t in his wallet.
Personal opinion, he’s not to be underestimated; very slick, a careful finger to the air, would sell his family out and put his kid’s organs on Ebay if it meant delivering the state of the union address some day; likes to be underestimated, sometimes even knows when to shut up and let things play out.
Not saying I like the sleazebag- who could- but there’s a disturbingly lot more to him than just the all too slick appearance.

Yep. Biden won’t be running again. Newsom is getting his ducks in a row for 2024.
I blame the lone single republican somewhere in San Fransicko...
No, Gov. Gavin Newsom explains he’s impotent and unable to preform his leadership position! What makes him think he can be President?
That's how I see it to. More fuel to the fire that he is running.
You can bet the farm on it. Looks like Brandon may not make it to the end of 2023.
The pot has turned all meanie and is calling the kettle a vessel of color.
So let me get this right, DEMOCRAT Governor and DEMOCRAT Lawmakers are blaming left-leaning judges and liberal advocates for California being a shit-hole.
Aren’t left-leaning judges and liberal advocates DEMOCRATS??
So, DEMOCRATS are blaming DEMOCRATS for California being a DEMOCRAT shit-hole state. WOW, makes perfect sense to me.
exactly! this is nothing but some words he can point to later when he runs for national office.
Notice that he doesn’t actually DO anything, just complains that he can’t!
LOL
He could declare an EMERGENCY (like with covid) and do ANYTHING he wished! but he wont since he actually has no issue with it, but just wanted to cover his butt politically .
De-institutionalization of the mentally ill. A horrible confluence of ‘libertarians’, “civil rights” twats, and general cost-cutters that has cursed this state since the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act of 1967.
