I guess they understood the concept of Bill of Attainder after all.
Just this week my wife and I received a mailing from the State asking us to check which party’s 2020 primary ballot we wanted to receive in the mail.
The GOP was not on it. I explained to my wife why and how this bogus law would be shortly overturned. How much taxpayer $$$ did the State of CA spend mailing out these bogus questionnaires and then having to remail the new set in teh future, I wonder? Basta*ds. I honestly think the only reason they mailed them out was to thumb their red noses at the GOP voters here in CA.
We discussed checking “Democrat” and then voting for whoever is the craziest candidate in the primary. Still might do it.
I would say that the CA court knows full well that the law does not stand a chance in the USSC. The law clearly violates the Federal Constitution which sets the rules for being president.
I assume that because the provision violated the State Constitution, the California Supreme Court saw no need to address Federal issues. Violating the state constitution was enough t strike down the provision.
I figured that, too. The CA Supreme Court had no jurisdiction to decide whether they were violating federal law.
They could see how the feds could render California electoral votes null in the next Presidential election if they failed to abide by federal law by not putting a qualified Presidential candidate on their ballot.
All of their electoral votes would have been stricken from the roll. Only the other 49 states would have voted for President.
The CA SC didn’t do this because it was the right thing to do. They did it to stay relevant as a state and be counted. Pretty sure this was their plan all along. This was nothing more than a statement and election ploy to beat Trump in CA. I don’t know what they were worried about. Twenty million dead or illegal people vote in CA every time the way the dems want them to.
Trump appointments upholding the rule of law.
Excellent.
Um, the President does not appoint the Supreme Court of the State of California.
I don’t think this is good enough, the Court should have Found the State in COntempt for even [passing this, then The COurt should have Ordered the State to PAY ALL Court Costs and Pay the President Lawye5rs too, then referred the AG Becerra to the BAR Association for Permanent Disbarment.
Maybe they stepped in one pile of human feces too many, and came to their senses.
There on the wall !! Can you see that writing?
(the court did)
CA can still send an appeal to the federal 9th circuit court./s
The justices don’t want to set a precedent which could bring their own financial shenanigans to light on request of an opponent.
Hoping.
Pinch me
Can these be real?
It amounted to a bill of attainder.
Staring in disbelief: a CA court could figure this out? Follow obvious law which prevents the attempt to violate our governmental representatives rights to privacy. Amazing.
It also violated CA Constitution on Right to Privacy.
Much of the Left uses this to protect much of their political activity.
Setting a President opened the door they didn’t want opened
