In short, California’s Constitution says that the Legislature has “plenary power, unlimited by any provision of this Constitution, to create, and enforce a complete system of workers’ compensation”, and the judge ruled that “any provision of this Constitution” includes the provision saying that the Legislature can’t override propositions.
- nickff 5y agoI think you're reading the ruling correctly, but the judge's understanding of the constitution would also imply that state courts would not be able to limit the Legislature's "system of workers’ compensation" (because the state constitution is what delegates power to the courts). I don't think this makes sense.
- sudosysgen 5y agoIndeed, that's what it says and it does make sense, at least to me.
