Yet it only takes ONE LIBERAL JUDGE to over turn the will of six million people and negate the law they voted to inact.

Not factually correct.

Judge Judith Pfaelzer's decision was not only subject to review, but was in the process of being reviewed when the plug was pulled. Respected judicial scholars were unanimous in their opinion: Pfaelzer's order would have been substantially upheld by the 9th Circuit but would have been reversed and all but two provisions of the initiative would have been upheld by the SCOTUS. Those portions of the initiative that were felt to be constitutional by these same legal scholars are incorporated into the present initiative.

The decision to over turn the will of six million people was made by Gray Davis when he sent the pending appeal before the 9th Circuit to mediation within the 9th Circuit. Davis' decision was not subject to review

I do believe People are really Pissed off and intend to let Mr. Bush know their feelings one way or another.
Bush is great on most things but on this issue he is dead wrong and he might just lose the next election over it.
Millions of Americans including me have worked hard all our lives paid TAXES and lived by the Rules,only to have Bush show us what a bunch of fools we are.
As far as Liberal Judges overriding the vote of the People, I believe the time for that is over, and it is time for those Judges to be put out of office one way or another.
If Bush can't control our Borders then it is time to bring ALL our troops home and take care of our Country first.
In this issue bush is to the left of the Leftist Democrats, kinda sad.
Great Post, Thanks
