Federal judge. thinking himself to be superior in wisdom to the votersmaybe the judge had been reading the article by Ms. Morrow that said. "The fact that initiatives are presented to a legislature of 20 million people renders ephemeral any real hope of intelligent voting by a majority"struck down that initiative. Proposition 187. This law denying certain public benefits to illegal aliens was declared unconstitutional by another judge. Proposition 208 was recently blocked in its enforcement by Judge Karlton. Over and over again in California we have had this problem caused by judges who basically think that the initiatives of the people are not due the respect to be accorded to enactments of the law.
