Newsom and his office don’t understand what the court opinion (not ruling, only kings issue those) actually means. They are too fucking thick.
My friend showed me the mail in ballot he received addressed to a guy who lived with him 10+ years ago and moved out.
Imagine if robbing a bank was treated the same way. Crook gets a stern warning, and gets to keep the proceeds of the crime.
President Donald Trump, a fierce critic of universal mail-in balloting, sort of won a late, tacit victory Friday when a California judge voided an executive order that had permitted state officials to mail ballots to every resident in the Golden State.
In a stern final ruling this Friday, Heckman completely voided the order, saying it’s “void as an unconstitutional exercise of legislative power and shall be of no further force or effect.”
Superior Court of Sutter County Judge Sarah Heckman slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom for having used the coronavirus pandemic to justify issuing the order.
Back in June, the governor exploited the California Emergency Services Act to sign an executive order that implemented universal mail-in balloting.
Two Republican lawmakers — California Assemblymembers James Gallagher and Kevin Kiley — promptly filed suit and won a temporary injunction. However, the injunction was quickly overturned by an appellate judge, according to station KCRA.
Five months later, a final ruling has at last been issued.
In a tentative ruling issued during the week of the 2020 election, Judge Heckman decreed that while Newsom has the power to use the California Emergency Services Act to issue executive orders, he doesn’t have the authority to use it to make/change law.
The ruling seemingly pleased Newsom …
“The tentative ruling makes clear that the Governor’s statutory emergency authority is broad, and constitutional, and that the Governor has the authority, necessary in emergencies, to suspend statutes and issue orders to protect Californian,” his office said in a statement.
“Additionally, this ruling has absolutely no effect whatsoever on the current election." But for all future elections Newsom will NOT be able to mail out ballots to everyone and their dead relatives, unless the democratically controlled Congress passes a law increasing the Gov's powers ten fold to do so. Maybe his office is happy CA isn't having an election challenged.
