Let’s see... the court is going to decide if it is constitutional for the people to ammend the constitution? Now that’s a slippery slope.

I half-jokingly posted a while ago that the Court might rule an amendment unconstitutional, looks like I was right.

So the California Supremes claim for themselves not only the power to declare what is constitutional but what may be constitutional.

Slippery slope indeed!

One wonders whether they will invoke a clause of the California Constitution to frustrate the amendment process of the California Constitution or whether they will look to the Federal Constitution to achieve their preconceived objective.

It's bizarre on the face of it.

What they are really saying by even agreeing to hear the case is "The constitution is what WE say it is.

And that is downright scary, if you ask me.
