Two days ago the California supreme court decided that California voters should not be allowed to vote on the ballot measure that would split the state into three states ("Cal3"). They argued that this would require a change in the state constitution and that this can only be done by the legislature. Gee, the state constitution hasn't prevented the state supreme court from allowing sanctuary cities or allowing illegals to vote in local elections. But now the court decides on a rigidly narrow reading of the state constitution.
California politicians were shocked when the Cal3 petition gained enough signatures to put the measure on the ballot. And, the measure was steadily picking up support in the polls. I suspect that's why the CA supreme court stepped in.
