monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Then why haven't those laws been passed, and so many that have, been overturned?

America's definitely not a majority rules kind of country

Trump told Hispanic crowd at the WH that “you have” a wonderful president in Mexico. Does he think he’s talking to Mexican citizens?

CA voter here. While I don't agree with the voters of that time, they passed the ballot initiative fair and square; the problem was that it was ruled unconstitutional, not that it didn't reflect the will of some silent majority in the state.

Earlier this week, John Hudson reported that the firing of Tillerson would trigger the exodus of two other Trump cabinet officials. Hudson’s source, he wrote, “expressed confidence in Tillerson’s status due to a so-called ‘suicide pact’ forged between Defense Secretary James Mattis, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and Tillerson, whereby all three cabinet secretaries vow to leave in the event that the president makes moves against one of them.”

The will of the people was never completely upheld in the court battle. The Governor of the state at the time didn't pursue further defense of the law or he would have taken it to the SC and had it ruled on, but he didn't because he didn't believe in the will of the people... Gray Davis failed the voting public, you wonder why people don't trust and vote in our system?

He’s argued that the more Christian South needs to secede and form a new Biblical nation.

We never really have been.

Good news though! Our citizens had a change of heart, and we've removed every trace of Prop 187 from our legal code. Root and branch.

Isn't it strange and ironic that today we find neo-Confederates in the party of Lincoln?

In American politics, the southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3] As the Civil Rights Movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South to the Republican Party that had traditionally supported the Democratic Party.[4] It also helped push the Republican Party much more to the right.[4]

IN NEW LAWSUIT, CORPORATIONS BAND TOGETHER TO STOP CONSUMERS FROM BANDING TOGETHER
A COALITION CONSISTING of the preeminent national business lobby, several financial services trade groups, and over a dozen business organizations in Texas have banded together — the way individuals might in a class-action lawsuit — to force the federal government to allow them to block class-action lawsuits.

Eighteen groups representing thousands of corporations and banks filed the lawsuit against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau last Friday in federal court in Dallas. Oddly, they did not attempt to individually resolve the dispute through an arbitration process, which they’ve consistently said yields speedier and better results for those wronged. “Arbitration gives consumers the ability to bring claims that they could not realistically assert in court,” the lawsuit reads.

But for corporations, banding together in courts apparently presents a better option.

Historically, more lynchings have occurred in the South -- i.e., "the more Christian South" -- than in the rest of the United States.

I speak not as an unbeliever, but as a Christian.)
