This is a severely underestimated fulcrum point in American history. During the nineties there was a great societal upheaval over mass migration. California voters, in the face of an onslaught of media demonization, acted to save their state by passing Prop 187 to end all public benefits for illegals. It was one of the most potent examples of popular democracy defeating entrenched corruption. It captivated the attention of the entire nation. Millions and millions of Californians voted to recapture their destiny. The proposition passed in a landslide. It was enjoined by a District Court judge IMMEDIATELY and remained enjoined permanently. Illegals continued flooding the state, consuming benefits, a Democrat (Gray Davis) won the next election and entered into a court settlement to halt the law forever.

It is a story that should tell everyone they should always vote for Republican and never allow Democrats to win anything.

I have been assured in another thread that challenging any judge is "banana republic shite" or some such

I don't understand this part. Why would it not get appealed up the chain?

A very important historical note that all too few people know about.

But judges destroying democratic decisions by the people is OK.

I've mentioned Prop 187 before for good reason. I also remember how pissed off the Mexicans were in the run up to Election Day.

I was living in Los Angeles at the time and voted for Prop 187. Most of the friends I had in California did too. A judge told us all to go frick ourselves

And you voted for it in a landslide but the propagandists tell us that MAGA is the threat to democracy.

The “vote of the people” is a cornerstone of Democracy. Democrats hate that cornerstone.

They did the same with gay “marriage”.

Democrats are anti-American scum.
