Mathews Street house. 1968.
​"I paid off my mortgage loan in full just as we agreed by written contract -- but valid ample wire-transfer-ready funds delivered before foreclosure sale were deliberately refused and rogue entities breached contract, violated law and auctioned our house anyway. Attorney sabotaged wrongful foreclosure case I filed, then the court denied due process violating clear letter of the law and sheriffs evicted three of us from the home my family has owned for sixty years since 1965, allowing huge fix n' flip company who were amply warned before bidding I would be forced to bring this lawsuit, yet now they're listing our house on the open market for unjust profit, aiming to strip our multi-generational family of over $900,000 of our equity, destroy my retirement security and extended family's safety net I built, and throw a senior into homelessness and financial destruction."
The Law says NO. And so do I. Lawsuit is far from over." -- Renee Shizue Ramos Yamagishi, Berkeley CA
The California Constitution recognizes federal supremacy
​
-
Article III, Section 1: The California Constitution directly affirms this hierarchy. Article III, Section 1 declares, "The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land".
​
-
State courts are bound: This means that if a provision of the California Constitution or state law conflicts with a valid federal law or the U.S. Constitution, the federal law prevails. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld this principle, even overriding attempts by states to nullify federal decisions.
The U.S. Constitution: Preamble
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
"In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
​
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
