The problem is that Federal judges have a little too much power. This particular one is a long time lefty whose removal (if it were possible) would be a good thing.
What, she halted it twice?
Consuelo B. Marshall:
Nominated by Jimmy Carter on June 20, 1980, Female, African American.
In San Angelo, Texas two place where homeless people gather are just a couple of hundred yards from each other. They are the entrance to the Wal-Mart parking lot and the entrance to the Lowes Hardware parking lot. The ones outside Lowes are looking for day work and they know that contracters, electricians, plumbers, landscapers get their supplies there and always have a day or two of work. If a person wants to do some honest work, I am all for it.
Now she's building a bridge between the two peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Why do you have a problem with this ruling?
The good folks of Redondo Beach are trying to preserve what is left of what was once a nice community. The ordinance was crafted to relieve them from the problems that result from small mobs of illegal aliens hanging out in public places. The judge has in effect told the citizens that their streets and businesses to NOT belong to them.

If it were small mobs of clean cut white citizens hanging out looking for work do you think there would be an ordinance?
Some animals are more equal then others. These people are just taking jobs and committing crimes that americans will not. You must not have a heart if you cant find a place for these illegal criminals to commit more crimes.
Afterall its not like they can commit these crimes in their home country. They would be locked up in jail and how would they make their country a better place or support their families if they were not allowed to commit crimes here in America. In the name of diversity America must becoma a dual language nation and we need a civil war between the hispanics and the blacks(whitey might have to help the blacks some). Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Neuvo Tijuana!! Keep your pets inside and invest in ice cream and taco carts. I crack up when I see these carts being pushed around neighborhoods I grew up in Neuvo Vegas.
Then the problem is with illegal aliens, not people soliciting work. Asking for a job shouldn't be illegal. Their being here illegally is the issue to be addressed.
soliciting employment on public streets and sidewalks.All public land including public streets and sidewalks have a defined purpose. An Air Force Base has a defined purpose. The White House has a defined purpose. A fire house has a defined purpose. Just because some land is "public," that ought not convey the right to any member of the public to use that land as he pleases.
I assume that if people wished to have sex on "public streets and sidewalks," and some judge ruled that such people could not restrained by the government, you would have a problem with such a ruling. No?

I love that skit. Thanks for making me think of it.
I love that line. I'll have to remember that.
Soliciting sex is called prostitution, which is illegal.
The intent of this ordinance is to rid the streets of illegals, pure and simple.
The City is too scared to enforce existing loitering laws for fear of being sued for profiling.
IMO, the law prohibiting someone from accepting a job offer on public property is unconstitutional.
In my example, I wasn't talking about soliciting. I was talking about performing.
IMO, the law prohibiting someone from accepting a job offer on public property is unconstitutional.
So maybe you could tell us which provision in the Consitution you think such a State (local) law would violate.

Another judge making laws from the bench.
Freedom of speech. "Do you want a job?" "Yes".
