Does anyone know if McClintock could resurrect Prop187 by appealing to the US Supreme Court?

The short answer is no.

The process would go as follows: First the California Attorney General (not the governor) would have to convince the California Supreme Court that Davis acted outside the scope of his authority when Davis met with a small number of special interest groups to arbitrate the original appeal to the 9th Circuit.

If the California Supreme Court agreeed that Davis acted outside his authority then the AG would have to petition the 9th Circuit to set aside the arbitration results and reinstate the original appeal.

If California lost it's appeal in the 9th Circuit then it could seek relief from the SCOTUS.

Hope this helps.

Damn, the AG will never agree to even begin the process.

What about a new Prop 187 Referundum? Who has the authority to call for a new Referendum?

There's got to be SOME way to cut off social services to the worthless mooching Illegals - Maybe some sort of Executive order requiring valid ID to receive most forms of state services?
