Prop 187, we as californians voted to take away services for illegal aliens by a wide margin, one judge took away that vote, the system is fucked

Specifically, the judge said that the initiative may not be constitutional because it does not provide due process, or a hearing before an individual is denied benefits such as schooling or health care
I'm not a lawyer, but this is clearly a technicality, the proposition writers evidently did not think it trough. It is also posing a precedent problem that could later be used for something more nefarious. Judges don't make laws they enforce them, he can't (and shouldn't) allow constitutional gaps since he's sworn to defend it.
