US District Judge Susan Illston Block Law Passed By California Voters Against Sex Offenders
One day after the voters, “WE THE PEOPLE”, of California passed Proposition 83 on a 
70.5% to 29.5% in Tuesday’s election, US District Judge Susan Illston blocked the law. She stated, “the measure is overly punitive and prevented it from going into effect.”
Voters passed Proposition 83 on a 70.5 percent to 29.5 percent vote in Tuesday’s election. The measure bars registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools and parks, a requirement challenged in a lawsuit by an anonymous plaintiff convicted of a sex offense 15 years ago.

Ever think elections do not matter? Guess who appointed US District Judge Susan Illston?
Once again, Liberal judges defending sex offenders over our children. If its not bad enough we have judges not sentencing sex offenders to jail time because they are too short or only giving convicted sex offender mere months, we now have judges blocking laws that would protect children. Instead we have judges that think the answer is to have convicted sex offenders wear t-shirts that state, “I am a sex offender”. What the hell is this country coming to?
Judicial legislation is out of control and must be stopped. By an overwhelming 70.5% this proposition passes in CA. It is not as though California is a conservative, red state. Even the common sense voters of California know that they must protect themselves and their children from sexual predators. Its too bad the liberal judges wish to protect the sex offender.
It is amazing how the democratic process in this country is constantly undermined by judges with an agenda. The response from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s legal affairs secretary was as follows:
“The voters have spoken and the governor will vigorously defend the lawsuit so the implementation of this vital measure can go forward to protect Californians against the lewd acts of convicted felons,” Hoch said in a statement.
This judicial activism and interference has got to end. This has nothing to do with politics and a Republican or Democratic issue. This is about our children … something that all of us can agree on his a common ideal, “We the People” can all stand for.
[...] One day after the midterm elections … a proposition in California that was passed 70.5% to 29.5% that restricted sex offenders, a CA US District Judge blocked the law. Elections do matter folks. Who do you thinks appoints these judges? Hint … The President of the United States. Here is another hint to who appointed this one. [...]

Why does this not surprise me. Where is our ever present media on this one. So now does this makes one wonder why alot of people don’t vote because their vote means nothing. Is there a judical process that can unblock her block. We the people…..mean nothing to the legislators or judges.

We voted here in California. Guess we could have saved a trip to the polls to vote on this… just send it to the judge to have him/her tell us what to believe and what to vote for!
Judical dictatorship!

You are so right ON about this needing to end where the judged are blocking our propositions. WE OVERWHELMINGLY voted YES on PROP 83 This is no longer a democratic system when this type of thing happes and a judge blocks what we voted on. That is exactly right… we might as well not vote and just send it to the judges if the next day it will get blocked. So how do I tell my granddaughter who will be 18 come the next election, that it is very important to vote if this kind of thing is allowed. WE HAVE TO STOP these judeges from flexing muscles that they DON’t and SHOULDN’T have. What do we do? What can I as a regular citizen do to help stop these judges. She got her vote… so where does she get off doing such a thing. The people didn’t even put her in office. THIS IS ANOTHER BILL CLINTON AFTERMATH that we are still our earthqauke state quaking from. The REALLY REALLT does have to stop. So is she going to defend people that get fed up enough and take the law into thier own hands with sexual offenders being found living or standing at the fences of our schools and parks where chilren are. NO… this woman seriously needs to be taken off the bench. I would love to know what we can do about her.
