Maybe it's time for the Justics to get the Rose Bird treatment.

How do ballot measures that completely trash the 2nd Amendment make their way onto the ballots then?
Voter initiatives are the direct democracy our constitutional republic was meant to avoid.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
Ha ha ha ha...who is REALLY in control??? It’s NOT the people. ROFL!!!
They can’t vote to amend their state constitution without violating the previous version of the constitution. What sense does that make? Has California ever had a amendment to their constitution. I there no way for citizens to force an amendment?
So “democracy” is good with Dems when they want the mob to have a say on government freebees but not when it comes to paying taxes.
The court rarely removes initiatives from the ballot after they have received enough signatures, preferring to let voters consider a disputed measure before ruling on its legality. But in 2018 the justices removed an initiative that proposed to divide California into three states, without deciding whether it was within the voters’ power to approve. The measure’s sponsor, venture capitalist Tim Draper, later withdrew it.
The 2018 case set a precedent, or a modern precedent. Illustrative of the long game played by TPTB, when they know they’ll need legal maneuvering around the will of the people at a future time. All planned and orchestrated by our elite rulers, and carried out by the administrative class, which includes lawyers, judges, politicians, and law enforcement.
There is a reason that the fasces - a longtime symbol of authoritarian violence and subjugation - is a ubiquitous symbol and icon used throughout American government, law enforcement, politics and legal system.
California tyranny on display.
It was a unanimous decision. Getting rid of all seven would be impossible.
““Our constitution, since its inception, has stated that all political power is inherent in the people. It has stated that the people have the power to reform and alter their government whenever they decide it needs reform”

“...would fundamentally restructure the most basic of governmental powers”
Sorry, peons. You are not allowed to change your sacred and hallowed government.
“When in the course of human events...”
Is there any wording in the California constitution that could justify the court decision?
Fighting for middle class income and real property tax caps now in Congress would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November, with the middle class being defined as persons having income in the range of federal civil servants.
But wait, Don’t certain California voter initiatives, under the State Constitution, amount to the equivalent of a state Constitutional amendment? Is the court saying that amending the state Constitution by voter proposols or initiatives is Constitutuonal, uless it involves taxes?
“Sponsors of the tax-cut ballot measure could ask state lawmakers to approve it for a future ballot but would have little prospect of success in the Democratic-controlled Legislature.”
Fighting for it in the legislature might reduce the Democrats seats below two-thirds at the following election.
"The court granted a request by Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic legislators to remove the measure from the ballot."
And California voters, including illegal aliens, will predictably reelect their state's elite career Democratic legislators in November, right?

Californians approved billions for new water storage. Why hasn’t it gotten built? (Non-FR; 1.16.23)
Meaningless, as California is VERY QUICKLY running out of taxpayers to finance their schemes.
Voters are not allowed to change the constitution in California, because that would be unconstitutional!
The judges there did the same thing years ago in regards to illegal aliens.
All conservative amendments to the California constitution are deemed unconstitutional.
The number one qualification to be a Feral ‘judge’ is that you must be a far leftwing, retarded jackass.
These are the “lovers of democracy” who absolutely do not want you to vote on something very important to you.
Makes my blood boil!
