Cutting San Francisco's Authority Over Cutting

Talk about cutting down on local control.

State legislation seeks to prevent California cities from enacting bans on circumcision. See the Jewish Journal story here.

Yes, you read that right. And yes, you may have missed the news about the wave of Califronia cities that are attempting to ban circumcision-- because there is no such wave.

There is San Francisco, where a bizarre local initiative to enact such a ban has made the ballot. It has no chance of winning, which is why the state legislature shouldn't be bothering with legislation.

Because if we need to pass a state law to pre-empt every crazy policy idea that gets proposed in San Francisco, the legislature wouldn't have time to do anything else.
