AZ SB 1070 is likewise facing an uphill federal court battle having had key provisions blocked and that stay upheld by the 9th circus.
Perry is not for giving up.
CA Prop 187 was declared unconstitutional by the 9th circus and the Democrat governor declined to appeal. It is widely considered to be the pivotal moment dooming the state GOP to permanent obscurity
... only in your world or listening to left wing journolistas.
187 had MAJORITY support of “hispanics” in CA and the Gov illegaly bottled up the appeal so as to not actually appeal it. It had nothing to do with the Repub decline in CA... that was the doing of the Rinos who torpedoed every conservative candidate that won a primary... funny how that works out for the elite establishment class. Try and get some facts straight and they don’t come from Wikipedifile...
ymmv
“It is widely considered to be the pivotal moment dooming the state GOP to permanent obscurity”
Proof that stupidity runs rampant within the GOP. The Democrats can’t believe their good fortune in having Republicans repeat that bit of idiocy.
Wilson was losing until he attached himself to the coattails of the grassroots Prop 187 vote. The useless GOP elites in this State convinced themselves of that same foolishness you just posted and then ran a series of weak, illegal-pandering moderates, the last one being Meg Whitman. The “lesson” you all appear to learn is that you haven’t grovelled enough to win all those pro-amnesty voters.
“CA Prop 187 was declared unconstitutional by the 9th circus”
Not so. Prop 187 was never allowed to get to the 9th Circuit for review.
The law was scuttled by one Federal Judge, Mariana Pfaelzer, who colluded with Gray Davis. Pfaelzer issued an injunction in 1994 and then dragged out issuing her decision for 3 years. This prevented Pete Wilson’s appeal of her decision from reaching the 9th before Gray Davis replaced him. Davis then withdrew Pete Wilson’s appeal which left Pfaelzer’s one woman vote the last word on Prop 187.
It didn’t have to remain so. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the pretend Republican, could have renewed the appeal at any time, but being from the Open Borders/Treason Lobby wing of the GOP he was no more interested in deporting illegal aliens than was Dubya. Perry has a record of being cut from the same cloth.
