So if someone is socialist and is “duly elected”, that’s valid? Come on now.
And where did “bicameral” come from? That’s not characteristic of republican government in particular. Lots of constitutional monarchies are bicameral; and one “democracy” in particular (
India) is, per its own constitution, a "sovereign,
socialist, secular democratic ‘republic’” with a bicameral legislature (which is why I must laugh when people think that Narendra Modi is any friend of the USA).
What with California’s being as liberal as it is, the definition of “conservative” there has to be like it is in places like New Jersey. Conservatives elsewhere in the country put strong emphasis on personal responsibility and private morality. And when it comes to cannabis in particular, the first major nationwide bans occurred under FDR. (BTW, prohibition, or the first instance of Sharia law in the USA, also had an eye towards preventing a certain "element" from proliferating, verbally that is.)
I see, its a cannibas issue with you. The fact of the matter is, the city iswithin its rights by the law. Bad law, vote in the city council members to change it. Like I posted before, I suppose if this was a brothel, you wouldn't have raised a peep.
The medicinal aspect of prop 215 is a joke. As soon as the prop passed, the local liberal "independent" fish wrap had a ton of docs willing to provide a script for "back pain" for a small fee advertising in the personal ads.
