"The buck stops in the courts in this matter."

Not. Two of the three branches of state government agree on a course of action. That is sufficient to overrule the wishes of the single "judicial" branch. Otherwise, the three branches are not "co-equal". Jeb Bush is a wuss.

The way the system works is that the legislature passes laws, the Governor executes then until the courts declare them to be unconstitutional.

We need to be looking at how corrupt our court system has become filled with activist judges who impose their will on the majority of us.

So a vote by both houses of the California Legislature and a signature by Ah-Nold on a bill to set aside the jury's decision and declare OJ Simpson guilty of murder is perfectly legal? If not, then the branches aren't "co-equal", are they?

A majority of the Supreme Court and Congress can declare that President Bush isn't C-in-C of the Armed Forces any longer, but he has been replaced by Pee-Wee Herman? 2 out of three, not "Co-Equal" otherwise!

You appear to have a grossly distorted view of Separation of Powers.
