Court rules California's Prop. 22 on Uber, Lyft drivers unconstitutional
One wonders about the hubris of the folks who approved this part of Prop 22:<p><pre><code>    After the effective date of this chapter,
    the Legislature may amend this chapter by a statute
    passed in each house of the Legislature by rollcall
    vote entered into the journal, seven-eighths of the
    membership concurring, provided that the statute is
    consistent with, and furthers the purpose of, this
    chapter. 
</code></pre>
Prop 22 was intended to be almost impossible to overturn, requiring a higher bar for amendment than even the state constitution, and only permitting the legislature to amend it if the amendment was "consistent with" Prop 22.<p>Regardless of one's opinion about Prop 22 and AB5, this provision was undemocratic at its core because it deprived future citizens and their representatives of their ability to modify the law.
