What is the test for making the trains run on time?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from County of Sonoma v. State Energy Resources Conservation etc. Com., 220 Cal.Rptr. 114, 40 Cal.3d 361 (Cal. 1985):

Second, the majority justify their decision on the ground that it would be time-consuming to allow the superior court to review section 25531 determinations. While this may be an accurate assessment, the remedy lies in constitutional amendment. 4 Making the trains run on time is neither a function of constitutional jurisprudence nor is it a guide to the meaning of our state's basic document. "[T]he fact that a given law of procedure is efficient, convenient, and useful in facilitating functions of government, standing alone, will not save it if it is contrary to the Constitution." (Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha (1983) 462 U.S. 919, 944, 103 S.Ct. 2764, 2780-2781, 77 L.Ed.2d 317, 340.)
