SB 54: Final Votes--California State Legislature Prizes Illegals Over American (UPDATE: Procedural Issues?)

This is a sad day in California.

The state legislature has lost whatever remaining moral authority which it had ever claimed.

The State Assembly, at the last hour, declared their support for turning California into an outlaw state, one which would not cooperate with ICE.

Here are the final votes from the CA State Assembly and the CA State Senate:

Interestingly enough, Al Muratsuchi abstained on the vote, again.

What a coward.

Rocky Chavez did, too. Unbelievable.

Two Democrats actually voted No in the State Assembly: Jim Frazier and Adam Gray.

Sadly, the one Democrat who had pledged to vote NO--Quirk-Silva--ended up changing her vote to "Yes" because of the cosmetic changes made to the bill following Brown's threat to veto the original proposed bill.

Here's where we stand in California. The legislature has become completely lawless, convinced that they have every right to invest all energies in defying President Trump.

This is just terrible. Let's hope that someone files a lawsuit immediately. I also look forward to the citizenry rising up and placing an initiative on the ballot to stop this perverse policy if Governor Brown signs this piece of legislation into law.

UPDATE:

As everyone can see in the above final vote tally, the State Senate cast their final votes on key legislation on September 16. The legislative session official ends on September 15.

Now, the two bodies can suspend the rules to allow for ongoing votes.

The Assembly suspended the rules in their house

The State Senate did not.

Assembly suspended the rules before midnight to allow session to continue past midnight. But Senate didn't. GOP believes session is over.

Does that jeopardize SB 54? We will see.
