Hi John,
I've just published a new blog post:
[link removed] California's
Day in Court
I just left the U.S. Supreme Court, where I've asked the Court to
restore the ability of our local communities to clear homeless
encampments from public spaces. Based on this morning's oral argument,
the Court appears poised to do just that. (See my reaction
outside
the courthouse.)
There are
**9 times** more unsheltered homeless in California than any other
state. Newsom, of course, is largely responsible. But another major
factor is irrational court decisions that created a right to set up tent
encampments anywhere and stopped cities from doing anything about it.
This has caused encampments to multiply unchecked, resulting in crime,
waste, fires, disease, business closures, and the deterioration of many
parks and downtowns. It has also meant a lack of compassion for homeless
individuals, who don't get the help they need.
Based on what I witnessed today at the Supreme Court, I believe at least
6 Justices are prepared to rein in the 9th Circuit's nonsensical rules
in a meaningful way and restore significant power to local communities.
That will be transformative for many communities in our state.
This comes on the heels of some other exciting news. The initiative to
End Prop. 47 has submitted over 900,000 signatures. Just 546,651 valid
signatures are required, so it has very likely qualified for the ballot
in November. Thank you to all who signed!
This means the Newsom camp's desperate attempt to stop signatures was
a complete bust. And it means voters will have a chance to reverse one
of the worst laws ever - which I believe they will emphatically. (See
my interview
on what Prop. 47 has done to our state.)
These two developments - getting a handle on homelessness and
restoring consequences for crime - will go a long way to reversing
California's downward trajectory. The path back to sanity is coming
into view.
