At 7:30 a.m. on Saturday January 9, the weather app on my phone registered 35 degrees in the Rancho Murieta Equestrian Center. I could see my breath, which is a rarity for this Southern California denizen. But despite the early hour and the frosty temperatures, local officials, concerned citizens, and state policy makers gathered for the first of the Day 2 panel discussions:
By What Authority? State of Emergency and Your Constitutional Rights.
Despite the illusion of full authority that Governor Gavin Newsom has attempted to weave, the temperature in the State reflects the opposite, and it is that heat, driven with purpose, that kept everyone warm.

Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham
Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham introduced a bill on Thursday to limit Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ’s ability to unilaterally enact or change laws or regulations 60 days after an emergency is declared under the California Emergency Services Act.
If passed, Cunningham’s bill, AB 108, will require governors to obtain approval from the Legislature before making any changes to laws and regulations under the emergency act after 60 days have passed. Cunningham has been critical of Newsom’s decision to include SLO County in the Southern California Region regarding the stay at home order.
“For 287 days, Gavin Newsom has been unilaterally changing laws and regulations with zero input from the Legislature,” Cunningham tweeted. “It’s time to restore California to a constitutional democracy, and ensure that a governor no longer has indefinite, unilateral power.”

California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom could see his emergency powers revoked after a Republican assemblyman issued a bill Wednesday demanding changes to the governor’s emergency authority as the coronavirus pandemic continues to surge.
The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham, calls for the immediate limitation in the governor’s ability to enact or change laws under the California Emergency Services Act (CESA) to 60 days after an emergency order has been called.
Cunningham’s bill follows nearly 290 days of California being under a State of Emergency amid the coronavirus pandemic and the latest round of state-enforced shutdowns, as cases spiked in the Golden State.
