Is it me, or does California have entirely too many ballot propositions? I am under the impression that a ballot initiative is an amendment to the California State Constitution.

Of course, the courts in the state often rule the propositions passed by the people to be unconstitutional.

If propositions are constitutional amendments, how can they be ruled unconstitutional? Never figured that out.

In Ca., the courts just annul willy nilly any law which doesn’t meet the liberal standard of fairness et al. Same old liberal BS but it works in the Soviet Republic of Ca.

Not necessarily. In Kali, the initiative process can also be used for normal law-making as well.
