MM was approved here in CA by a ballot initiative. Here in CA voters can pass laws themselves. Our state constitution allows the voters to do this by way of our many ballot initiatives.
Unfortunately, some ballot initiatives that I voted for and that were passed by the voters are no longer in effect.
In 2008 the voters passed an amendment to the state constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. No longer in effect.
In 1994 the voters passed an amendment to the state constitution denying state public services to illegal aliens. That is also no longer in effect.
In 1996 I believe was the year the voters passed an amendment to the state constitution allowing for “medical marijuana” in the state. And I say “medical marijuana” using parentheses in much the same way Mike Meyers does as Austin Powers.
So do you defend CA’s 10th Amendment power to decide this matter, yes or no?
