Thank you for your admission of ignorance. The Sierra Nevada Conservancy constitutes a regional government with power to control the use of property by permit without voter representation on its board. It is not Republican government per Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution and will effect uncompensated takings in violation of the 5th Amendment. It also violates the California State constitution, much the same way the Coastal Commission did.
Arnold wants it because it's a payoff to his friends in the real estate business, select developers, and mortgage bankers (artificial shortages in residential real estate increase the loan base). That's why he is raking in all that lovely money, much of it from the same people as supported Gray Davis.
Got it now?
Well, I think that's a bit of a stretch. It doesn't sound all that different from private land developments. And while it may be pursued in ignorance of the constitution, the constitution is not used as a misguided justification by a court.
That is what I was talking about. But I'm sure you know that already.
But if it does goes through, can we count on you taking it to court and challenging it on constitutional grounds that you've cited?
That's what the courts are for, and that's where it would come into play.
It would be interesting to see how that turns out.
Wild-eyed conspiracy theories aren't going to persuade the masses to switch to your pet causes.
Arnold is already rich. He's already powerful. He's already governor.
Ergo, he doesn't *need* anybody's money. Thus, there is no motive behind your conspiracy tale.
It is entertaining, however, to watch you pop up onto *every* thread that even remotely mentions Arnold, to bash him every single time.
Have you nothing positive to say?
