“yet this over-worked process is trying to change our state into a “direct democracy” that resembles “mob rule!”

So, what do you think about Proposition 8? Is that mob rule?

Yes! A vocal, militant minority has successfully used the courts to narrowly support the tyranny of the minority requiring the tyranny of the majority to try to correct an absurd judicial ruling!!!

There can be mobs ruling, only because they can, because of the initiative, referendum and recall processes!!! Because one vain little Governor Hiram Johnson wanted to "change the world" and destroy the rule of a representative republic and the Republican Party in the process. That's exactly why he's Arnold's stupid hero!!!

For those with little understanding of California's due process protections, Prop 8 was an answer to a judicial tyranny. Few other states allow their citizens relief from judicial tyranny without exercise of the rights accorded them under the US 2nd Amendment.
