Declaring a portion of the Constitution “unconstitutional” would be a judicial nuclear bomb.

I wonder if the US Supreme Court can cite a state Supreme Court ruling as precedent?
God help us.
It was an amendment regarding illegal immigrants. Something regarding not giving them state services like education, welfare etc.
It was declared unconstitutional.
I remember being simply shocked that a constitutional amendment could be declared unconstitutional by the cort.
I'll try to find it.
IIRC, the Cal. courts have already overriden the people’s will by referendum, in the case of a proposition that prohibited the provision of social benefits to illegal immigrants. Thus, this Prop 8 would not be the first time. There is precedent. Expect it to happen.
Actually it is a good example of a fuse that will light the torch-bearing, pitchfork-waiving crowds to dethrone these disconnected wastes of skin.
Government needs to be reduced in size by 90%. Immediately. There are simply too many people doing too little except getting in the way of the other people who actually pay the bills in this country. A cull is in order, and a judiciary which slaps the electorate in the face is a great way to start one.
I know I'm preaching to the choir but these quacks in California are just stupid.
Why don't they say what they mean: "How dare the people actually vote against the liberal agenda!"
