    No, only if you want to borrow federally insured money or be entrusted to a state, county or federal office.

    Trump will still be on the National Ballot, "Newsom's but a walking shadow, a poor player. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

    True. And that's saying a lot.

    Welcome aboard.

    Smoke a cigarette in a park or on a deserted beach the police will issue you a citation but you can stick a needle in your arm and inject yourself with heroin or meth in the same park and nothing is going to happen, the junkie is protected by the California progressives and will not be prosecuted because of Prop 47.

    Hey!!! I live in California and , uh, er, . and, you're right!

    So you support government overreach and abuse of power when you agree with what they are doing? Did you consider that the same power can also be used for things you oppose?

    What you think is irrelevant when a politician has the power to think for you.

    Because it's true.... and fun.... I already indicated the Ca bill is unlikely to produce the desired result....but if you don't want to take on other undemocratic ideas (as you suggested), I'm fine with that...

    I think anyone running for POTUS should release their taxes, not sure at this point a single state can dictate that.

    The thread is about what is occurring in CA. Either debate the merits of Governor Newsom's actions or don't. Anything else is just an off-topic distraction.

    People are arrested in parks and beaches every day for drug activity. There are no laws protecting junkies or meth heads in California. Our prisons are full of them.

    There are cameras everywhere now days except where Seth Rich was whacked.

    The reason why I even brought up smoking, over the weekend I witness a cop issuing a citation to some lady who was sitting in her car on a public road that was adjacent to a park while smoking a cigarette.

    It seems you can't even smoke in your own car if the car is within 25 feet of a park.

    I guess it could be worse, just think of you were a smoker and your house was within 25 feet of a park.

    Some municipalities in California are passing laws that you can't even smoke in your own apartment or backyard.

    They are looking for evidence of money laundering.

    Newsom should know better. The Feds will have this in court as fast as you can spell cheerios.

    How many of them find themselves inside a courtroom ?

    They are booked and released and the DA will not prosecute because of Prop 47.

    Most cops in California will not arrest someone openly using drugs knowing they will not be prosecuted.

    Same with shoplifting as long as it's kept below $950.

    Same with burglaries as long as the burglar keeps it below $950.

    I think they can..... each state can put whatever reasonable restrictions on their ballot system they desire, as long as they don't conflict with the Constitution on requirements (US Citizen, 35 etc) or violate other protections (Race, Gender etc)...

    Here's a list of state-specific rules for access to the state's ballot...

    https://www.nass.org/sites/default/files/surveys/2017-08/research-ballot-access-president-Oct16.pdf

    Forcing a release of your taxes doesn't target any party or person.... just seems that way since only 1 buffoon refuses to do it...

    Whether it's a good idea is another story.... I have my doubts along those lines...

    I am pleased no longer to be living in CA. Some used to tell me to move away if I was unhappy. So I did.

    CA displays full frontal of what I speak of when talking of Democratic party rulers. They do not respond to citizens, they create laws and rules and those must always be obeyed. How soon until Democrats create the Ruling society portrayed in Logan's Run?

    There are still to many liberal activist judges who legislate from the bench who can't spell cheerios.

    What you think is irrelevant when a politician thinks he knows better and has the power to silence you.

    I notice the word "reasonable" is commonly used along with abuse of power. No reasonable person would believe this is anything other than an obvious attempt at suppressing votes for Trump. Newsom is a polished politician feeding his followers what he knows they are eager to consume. I don't think he believes this will fly.

    Like it or not, the real issue is whether such a law will hold up in court and I doubt our opinions matter much in that decision. I tend to favor state's rights and I'd have to see evidence why a state isn't allowed to make such a law, to consider the law not valid.

    Yeah, you think a politician should be able to do what they want. Your ridiculous conspiracies are long in the tooth.

    States lost most of their state rights in 1865.
