"Judge Marianne Pfaelzer sat on the Proposition until Pete Wilson left office, and then struck a deal with Gray Davis guaranteeing that he wouldn't appeal her decision to a higher court."

You are correct. However, the problem in 2001 was if this case had gotten to the Supreme Court it would have been turned back or our side would have lost in the court.

So Davis and Pfaelzer and the Rats cooked up this scheme and deal to conveniently kill it. That would not happen today.

I don't understand why you're targeting 2001, we passed the Proposition in 1994. And Pfaelzer's decision would have been reviewed by a 3 judge federal appeals court, not the supremes.

Pfaelzer and Davis didn't share your confidence that higher courts would back her decision, otherwise they wouldn't have entered into their little subversion of the electorate. They simply would have let the appeals court validate her decision. They deliberately prevented this review process from proceeding.
