““ like this proposal, but I do not think it will withstand Constitutional scrutiny.””
Why not? Its already being done in two states (New Mexico & New Hampshire).
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The concept is constitutional, because the Constitution explicitly gives that authority to the State Legislatures. However, this proposal will be going directly to the voters, since the overwhelmingly Democrat California Legislature won't touch this issue.
Yep, and in Ca the criminals and perverts are a large block of the electorate. Add to that the vindictive socialist progressives and this will have a hard time getting passed.
Then, of course, there is the ONE JUDGE rule after any proposition is passed in Ca.
