Immigration: California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a repeal of 1994's overturned Prop. 187, calling it a law that "has no place on the state's books." What do you call a man who claims voters' choices have no place in government?
In most places out there, the name would be "tyrant," even if the word seems a bit fancy for the increasingly unpopular Gov. Brown.
Because the hard fact remains that in 1994, millions of California's voters, by a margin of 59% to 41%, voted in favor of denying "free" welfare, education and other benefits to illegal immigrants on the clear logic that a burglar who breaks into someone else's home doesn't have the right to eat the owner's food.
It was a legitimate decision for a people to make, given that in any democratic system, the participants have the right to control the purse.
But Brown's statements and those of his political allies, including those in the press, suggest an imperial contempt for the will of California's voters. After all, there was no need to sign a bill, given that a single judge had effectively overturned the will of the voters and subsequent governors failed to appeal, letting it die.
Meanwhile, the desire on the left to besmirch the will of the voters as Jim Crow racism has continued.
As the law's sponsor, state Sen. Kevin de Leon, a Democrat from Los Angeles, told the L.A. Times, Brown's signing of state Senate Bill 396 "closes a dark chapter in our state's history and brings dignity and respect to the national immigration debate."

Well I bet it’s been “Cha Ching Day” for the both of them for it to have come out. Also, it probably makes any further political sorties by A the A problematic.
