As horrible as the China virus was/is, the silver lining (for lack of a better descriptive term) is it exposed what autocratic, oppressive, freedom-hating totalitarians the Democrats are. No one believed us.
They do now.

Judge Rules Gov. Newsom Violated California Constitution (Again) With June Order For Mail-In Ballots
By Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge, November 3, 2020:
Authored by Isabel van Brugen via The Epoch Times,
A judge tentatively ruled on Nov. 2 that California Gov. Gavin Newsom overstepped his authority when he issued an executive order in June requiring all counties in the state to send mail-in ballots to every registered voter for the Nov. 3 election.
The governor’s June executive order violated the California Constitution, Heckman ruled, because it created new law. Only the legislature has the power to create laws under California’s constitutional separation of powers.
Heckman’s ruling (pdf) found that the California Emergency Services Act gives Newsom authority “to suspend certain statutes, not to amend any statutes or create new ones.”
The Nov. 3 election will be unaffected by the ruling because the California Legislature subsequently voted to enact the same mail-in ballot policy enacted by the governor with his executive order, alongside other safeguards.
Heckman acted in a lawsuit brought by Republican Assemblymen James Gallagher of Yuba City and Kevin Kiley of Rocklin who both said Newsom, a Democrat, was single-handedly overriding state laws in the name of what he argued was keeping Californians safe in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus pandemic.
“This is a victory for separation of powers,” the lawmakers said in a joint statement.
Newsom “has continued to create and change state law without public input and without the deliberative process provided by the legislature.”
“Nobody disputes that there are actions that should be taken to keep people safe during an emergency,” they added.
“But that doesn’t mean that we put our Constitution and free society on hold by centralizing all power in the hands of one man.”
The judge’s decision will become final in 10 days unless Newsom’s attorneys can raise new challenges.
Newsom’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Epoch Times. A spokesman told The Associated Press that the governor’s administration is evaluating its next steps and strongly disagrees with the order’s specific limitations.
The governor has issued more than 50 executive orders related to the CCP virus since he declared a state of emergency in March.

Disgusting betrayal.
“The Nov. 3 election will be unaffected by the ruling because the California Legislature subsequently voted to enact the same mail-in ballot policy enacted by the governor with his executive order, alongside other safeguards.”
The real traitor is Judge Heckman who wasted over 4 months issuing this lame decision the day before the election.
But don’t take my word for it.

In the entirety of the COVID-19 crisis liquor stores and weed dispensaries have never been closed in Californication. I guess liquor stores and wineries are essential services — especially considering Newscum owns wineries. Stay stoned my friends!

And who will enforce this?
In Michigan, Whitmer’s executive orders were declared unconstitutional last month so she immediately got her Head of Public Health to reissue the exact same orders and we are still being locked down and forced to wear used unhygenic Kleenex over our faces everywhere we go.
