It seemed simple enough. A law on the city of San Diego’s books to restrict where registered sex offenders can live has provisions deemed unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court.
City Attorney Mara Elliott wanted the City Council to repeal the ordinance because San Diego could still be sued with it in place, even though the law hasn’t been enforced for years.

This seems to be a good piece for us, showing the idiocy, frankly, of the SD City Council. I’m sure there will be many citizens who will focus on how it’s wrong that the court ruled as it did, etc., instead of accepting the facts and truth the court decided. If one accepts the court ruling, even if disagreeing with it, the 5 members of the Council look foolish. I’m guessing the Council will see the light and repeal before it actually heads to trial. Expect some sort of soap-boxing and grandstanding associated with it.
