The reasonable alternative is to lay off everyone with an even state employee ID number.

I guess he has to fire them. If he can’t furlough them when they can’t pay them, it would seem the only alternative.

Good, Fire them....well, Fire enough so California can afford who is left.

They Should Govern within the people’s Budget, not in excess of the Tax Collections.....There is no Free Ride.

Corporations Layoff.....California HAS TO LAYOFF....Or else.

The Service Employees International Union is doing what it can to bankrupt the California and other states. The unions and their allies in the dimoKKKRAT party are ruining this country.

An Alameda Superior Court judge has ordered the Schwarzenegger administration to cease and desist its practice of furloughing thousands of state workers who are members of the Service Employees International Union, Local 1000, offering the powerful union a huge victory as it enters 2010.

Isn't he exerting power outside his jurisdiction?

...Alameda Superior Court... Justice Frank Roesch...

What statewide office did this guy run for?

How can an Oakland Judge tell the Governor what to do? Judges have a great racket going... just wait for the Governor to make a decision, and then rule it unconstitutional and substitute your own preferred decision in its place.

Who needs to run for Governor anymore?

This is what it's really about.

It's about the SEIU exerting its power, since it has a friend in the White House.

Well I guess California is just going to have to find another way to cut their payroll by 20%.

Looks like CA is going to have 20% unemployment when all the SEIU employees get their pink slips. Cry me a river.

They should all be thankful that they still have jobs.

Why doesn’t Arnold issue an executive order that orders the Supreme Court Judge to pay the salaries of those that were to be furloughed?

Just out of curiosity, suppose Arnold grew a pair and laid off thousands of workers. How is unemployment funded in CA? If it is a state controlled fund built by employers’ payments? If so, has it been raided and emptied like so many other states?

Then Justice Frank Roesch ought to pony up the money because I don’t want to give them any more.

The only wake up call that will stick is a sovereign default of the US federal government.

Let them spend it all and go bankrupt returning us to 1850 std of living and laws.
