California’s chief justice said Tuesday that she will appoint an advisory panel on how the court system might better help the state address its growing homelessness crisis.

That might involve transferring surplus properties to be used for shelters or housing, a process already underway for other state agencies, Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye said.

The working group will report to her later this year.

California courts in recent years “have become more than a place that resolves disputes. We have become centers for social justice,” she said in her annual state of the judiciary

Xourts are not the legislative or executive branches of government.

That shiite has to end right now.

[Montana_Sam]

The California legislature ought to up in arms about this usurpation of their authority. As should the Governor.
Should be.
But it's California.

I don’t like the sound of this.

The courts are going to cure drug and alcohol addiction?

You mean Comrade Kaprugina...

This should get squashed fast. Comrade Newsome cannot afford this kind of a fight on his “pre-presidential” positioning.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong...

Bingo!

I think if the courts just used their power to place people in mental facilities (permanently), then the nutcases would be off the street in massive numbers. Then it’d be a manageable situation.

I remember when the Juan Corona virus took care of the homeless farm workers back in 1970.

I wonder if the cities of Marysville and Yuba City ever wondered why there were so few of their homeless back then.

They are only responding to the wishes of the people, don’t you know? /s

Social justice baby. ...it’s what judges do now. ....scary stuff.

California descent down the toilet bowl accelerates.

Busing them to Texas, no doubt.

Two court properties could potentially be used for shelters, according to her staff. They include the Plumas-Sierra Courthouse in Porterville, a $6 million, 6,500-square-foot project that was completed in 2009 but is currently closed because of budget restrictions.

The left coast of the US is in fast-forward mode to openly exercise despotism. This, and the Oregon governor arbitrarily declaring a cap & trade tax through executive order. Lots of cleanup work to do in those territories.
