Proposition 187 was passed by voters in 1994 after a divisive campaign, but was struck down in court because of a conflict with federal law. Do any of the Freeper legal types know exactly what the "conflict" was?
Has anything changed since then to expect a different outcome?
Other than the 9th Circus Court, is there anything preventing its implementation?

I had the impression that the ruling claimed California was overstepping its authority on federal matters (immigration). Or, maybe she said CA didn't have authority to determine who was/wasn't legally here.

Do any of the Freeper legal types know exactly what the "conflict" was? Ron Prince was on John & Ken (KFI 640) yesterday. He stated that the original Prop 187 banned illegals from education & health care. This new prop would not have those restrictions & basically compelled the state of CA to conform to Federal laws.
He indicated they knew of the problems with the original Prop 187 & designed it to challenge earlier Supreme Court rulings on banning illegals from education. Since this new prop does not have the education & health care restrictions, he does not see how it can loose if challenged in court.
