| Calif. high court upholds Schwarzenegger furloughs |
| 2010-10-05 |
[KGO-TV SAN FRANCISCO, CA]  The California Supreme Court on Monday upheld Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's order to furlough state workers, dealing a major victory to part of the governor's budgeting plans. In its unanimous ruling, the court concluded that the state Legislature's 2009 budget legislation "validated the governor's furlough program." |

| #2 Well, in California they have demonstrated by act that Supreme Court Judges can be furloughed by the people through recall. The people have no such mechanism with the bureaucracy other than indirectly by electing officials who will furlough them. I'd add by state constitutional amendment, but those who are unhappy with the results just appealed to some sympathetic federal judge who tells the people to stuff it. |

| #1 Larger issue aside, amazing is it not, how those immune from "furlough" pass unanimous jugement upon those suscectible to furlough. |
