Importing illegal aliens is actually raising the overall intelligence level of the state's population above that of most Californian voters.

Hopefully McPherson waits to pull it until all appeals have been exhausted.

Kolkey said that holding initiative proponents to a requirement that there be no differences between what is submitted to the attorney general for review and what is circulated to voters could invalidate a measure for a simple printing error. So now the left doesn't even have wait for one of their judges to overturn the voters. We won't get to vote in the first place.

I believe you're a bit of a younger one here at FR and I admire your spirit, so watch close the next few weeks.
You're gonna see how the FoXes really still do run the hehouse in StinkyMento. They already got another hugh leap in spending and got the Gub to sign off..
It's gonna take a fed sweep and RICO charges to clean out the corrupt side of the state legislature and HaZMat crew to clean out Lockyer's office, nothing less, imo.

If I were the governor, I would simply ignore the court order and issue an executive order of my own, demanding that the issue be placed on the ballot.
Then I would order state troopers to every polling place in the state on election day to make sure my order was carried out.
If judges can ignore, congressional subpoenas, then governors should be able ignore judicial orders.
To: NormsRevenge
Three observations;
1) A sound ruling. Costa's group screwed up and got caught.
2) Schwarzenegger isn't at fault here. He did not write the initiative. He supported it, as if was submitted.
3) Initiatives submitted by the electorate are oft times flawed. This wasn't and shouldn't have been.

if it would work, why not?

No .
I'm saying the average voter that got us in this me$$ are not the brightest bulbs around and the illegals who now come here in hordes are smarter than quite a few of those who voted in California the last 20 years and who have allowed socialism to become the order of the day in this state..
Why are so many voters disconnected from the political side of things and can't make intelligent decisions in the polling booth is due to many thaings?? Try the educational system, the political and legal systems, the media, the politicians ,, for starters. etc

The executive can and has ignored the judicial since the judicial lacks an essential element to enforce its decisions: a standing army.

"The differences are not simply typographical errors," Judge Gail Ohanesian said. "They're not merely about the format of the measure. They are not simply technical. It would have been nice if the AP had described the differences.
To: NormsRevenge
This reminds me of the Anti-16th Amendment people who say the 16th Amendment (Income tax) was not ratified because some states removed commas from what Congress passed. Small errors shouldn't matter.
To: NormsRevenge
The judge is politically motivated. The wording changes were NOT substantive.
This is a scandal. The political establishment in Kalifornia is really getting desperate.
But this is another example of how our courts, staffed by dishonest judges, manipulate our government. There are plenty of similar examples in Florida and New Jersey, and probably in many other states.
