I haven't read the case (I have a Federal tax return to review)

Posted by spamlet Feb 7 '12, 11:06

Is the ruling that CA citizens have no standing to fight for the law if the CA government refuses to?

That's a dangerous precedent for things like medical marijuana or even gay marriage in other states where a new regime comes in and refuses to defend settled law.

No. You are reading a lot of strange stuff into this (no doubt aided by my own B2 rants). -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 11:10
