Newsom's Sham Reopening

Headlines say Gavin Newsom is “fully opening” California on June 15. What they should say is he’s continuing a catastrophic policy for at least another two months.

Newson’s bizarre announcement – the economy might open, schools won’t have to, and masks are here to stay – is as unlawful as it is incoherent. The Governor is legally required to end the State of Emergency “at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant.” There is no authority for a months-long political timetable.

Newsom recently said “we’re all geniuses in hindsight.” Yet the most ignorant errors continue at this very moment. He claims he “saved lives” with the nation’s worst lockdowns, yet our overall mortality rate has gone up more than in 45 states. And we’re still dead last at returning kids to school.

The Legislature, meanwhile, still hasn't passed my Resolution to end all restrictions or my Amendment to open all schools. It's almost as corrupt as Newsom. But at least our hearing with the Court of Appeal is just two weeks away, with a chance to end one-man rule for good.

I’m also drafting a bill that I'm more hopeful will be voted on this month. As Vice Chair of the Assembly Privacy Committee, I’ll be introducing legislation to stop the madness of vaccine passports before it starts.

The Madness of Vaccine Passports

Vaccine passports would be a last straw for many Californians. I am introducing a bill to end this madness before it starts.

My legislation prohibits the mandating of vaccine passports “as a condition of receiving any service or entering any place.” I’m hopeful it will be voted on at the Privacy Committee's April 22 hearing.

Having to surrender your personal health information just to go about daily life is an appalling notion, one utterly incompatible with a free society. Passports would inevitably come to be used for other purposes, extending the ethos of control from this last year into the indefinite future.

The Newsom Administration claims "there are not current plans to impose" a passport system. Yet it's already taken a step in that direction with new guidelines for public events. And this is the same Governor who once promised he wouldn't shut down schools and said "localism is determinative" on business restrictions.

Speaking of business restrictions, another of my bills, AB 54, will be heard next Tuesday. This legislation aims to restore licenses that were revoked for non-compliance with lockdown orders. That same day the bill I'm authoring with James Gallagher to stop censorship on social media will be heard by the Judiciary Committee.

Meanwhile, the anti-Recall chicanery has taken another turn. There’s a new bill to let the target of a recall (like Gavin Newsom) get the list of people who signed, so his cronies can harass them into withdrawing their signatures. Nothing terrifies our political class like a free and fair vote.

Finally, some good news. The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled against Newsom on religious freedom for the fifth time, lifting his restrictions on in-home gatherings.

Awash in Corruption

A bill to expose the name and address of everyone who signs a Recall petition has just passed the Senate Elections Committee. SB 663 would let the target of a Recall get their hands on the full list of signatories.

The bill is authored by a Senator who was once recalled himself. At the same time, the Senate’s past president has started an anti-Recall PAC to help Newsom called “Stop the Steal.” He’s demanding the list of petition signers and threatening a lawsuit if he doesn’t get it. You can’t make this stuff up.

The goal is obvious: to bully people into withdrawing their signature and to use state power as retaliation for signing in the first place. Even the Democrat-controlled Elections Committee staff concluded SB 663 would make voters feel “intimidated or harassed” and that “government employees, particularly, may also fear professional retaliation.”

To make matters worse, public comment on the bill was cut off before dozens of people got a chance to participate. At least this was better than last week’s education hearing, where the Chair shut down public comment after 10 minutes. When I objected, he tried to mute my microphone (see the video here).

Gavin Newsom and his allies can sense the jig is up. That’s why they’re denying citizens access to our government like never before. In fact, the Capitol itself has been closed to the taxpaying public for a year even as an obscene $1 billion “renovation” of the building proceeds.

If our Founding Fathers were to visit modern day California, they’d conclude the experiment of self-government had failed. A glimpse inside our State Capitol and then beneath any major freeway overpass would produce an undeniable conclusion: corruption breeding decay.

That had been the norm for much of history, until the Enlightenment exalted reason and truth over raw power. Those ideals found their finest form in American civic institutions. The question we now face is whether those institutions are strong enough to withstand the counter-Enlightenment California’s politicians have unleashed.

I believe the answer is yes. That's what the Recall is all about, and it's why Newsom is panicking. By restoring our founding principles, the people of California can deliver a decisive blow to our corrupt political class.

Our Day "in" Court

Last night we had an incredible Recall event in El Dorado County. You can see the amazing energy in this video.

But next Tuesday is the day we’ve been waiting for. At 9:30 AM, James Gallagher and I will face Newsom’s attorneys before the Court of Appeal. The hearing is virtual (so much for your day in court), but the upside is you can watch it live.

As something of a prelude, this week James and I presented our legislation to stop social media censorship. The big tech companies were there to testify in opposition.

The bill passed the Assembly Judiciary Committee, but only after the majority amended it on the fly so it does basically nothing. The chairman even suggested there needs to be more censorship. You can see my response to him here.

We tried to make reasoned arguments, but in a Legislature controlled by Special Interests, that counts for nothing. It’s like walking into an American store with a pocketful of Euros; at our State Capitol, logic and reason are not an accepted currency.

But in the courts, it's supposed to be different. That’s why the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down Newsom’s disgraceful attacks on religious liberty five times. We’ll now see if this holds in the California court system.

I remain hopeful that the strength of our civic institutions will win out, and the Appeals Court – if not the Supreme Court – will affirm we don't have dictatorships in America. Not of any kind, not under any circumstances.

The Loaded Weapon

Our Oral Argument in the Court of Appeal is complete. You can watch a video clip here.

The good news is the Justices appear poised to reject Newsom’s request to dismiss the case. From the beginning, his strategy has been to get out of the lawsuit on a “mootness” technicality to avoid any accountability for his past actions and any restraint on his future actions.

Yet the Presiding Justice quickly swatted away the mootness issue, asking Newsom’s attorney to proceed to the merits. Just as significantly, the Presiding Justice acknowledged this case is about not just one executive order but the “generic question” of Newsom’s one-man rule.

It thus appears likely the Court will issue the first precedent-setting decision in California history on the limits of a Governor’s emergency powers. That doesn’t necessarily mean it will go our way, of course. Regardless of the outcome, the California Supreme Court will have the last word.

People watching have commented that the three Justices interrupted with a lot of questions. That’s pretty standard and generally a good thing – it lets you address what they want to hear – but with the virtual format it did make things choppy.

The hearing was also short. After hundreds of pages of briefing, James and I only got 15 minutes between the two of us, including all the interruptions. That meant most of what I had to say went unsaid, including a quote from Justice Robert Jackson.

In dissenting from the infamous Korematsu decision, Justice Jackson wrote that if a court upholds an unconstitutional order, it "for all time has validated the principle,” and “the principle then lies about like a loaded weapon ready for the hand of any authority.”

We are asking the Court to disarm Gavin Newsom, to be sure; after all, he’s wreaked havoc unlike any governor in history. But it's perhaps even more important that we don’t let him leave behind an anti-constitutional weapon, locked and loaded for use in any future “emergency."

That, ultimately, is our message to the Court: the extraordinary abuses of this past year must never be repeated.

Yes, Newsom should fear recall [Liz Wheeler mirror]

It's Official

The Secretary of State has verified enough signatures to trigger an election for the removal of Gavin Newsom as Governor.

This is an achievement of historic proportions: our country’s largest ever signature drive and our state’s greatest ever citizens movement.

In theory, Newsom could still stop the election by harassing people into retracting their signatures. But with 130,000 signatures to spare, that’s rather unlikely. In fact, the bill to expose the name and address of petition signers has been withdrawn by the author.

In a sign of desperation, Newsom is personally attacking me using his “Stop the Republican Recall” Twitter account. Ironically, he went after me for opposing a bill that 25 Democrats and the Senate Majority Leader also declined to support.

Meanwhile, Newsom’s anti-Recall campaign has received $25,000 from a high-speed rail contractor that was awarded $2.2 billion. The bonfire of corruption is fully ablaze.

In truth, corruption has already burned through almost every vestige of sanity and decency at our Capitol. That’s why a state where “astounding enterprises” used to be “rushed through with a magnificent dash and daring” is taking decades to build a $100 billion obsolete train to nowhere.

The Recall is our chance to reclaim what we've always stood for, as our state’s steady decline – now a freefall – is swiftly reversed and a new era for the California Dream begins.
