Too often. as seen in California. special interests can misuse the courts. They go forum shopping. which we have talked about here today. for a friendly judge in an effort to thwart the will of the people. Californias prop 187. which would have denied taxpayerfunded social services for illegal immigrants. is a perfect case in point. Although a majority of our citizens voiced their strong support for prop 187 in a statewide referendum. the vote was barely official before the court challenges and delays began. So this legislation corrects a fundamental wrong. a flaw in our system. because we believe on this side it is wrong for one activist Federal judge to issue an injunction thereby thwarting the will of the people.
