Just handout pink slips, for Christ's sakes. No judge can stand in the way if you lay off people you don't have money to pay for. (just don't raise taxes on your rich buddies.)

Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Patrick Marlette denied the administration's request for a temporary restraining order that would force the controller immediately to pay the federal minimum wage to about 200,000 state workers in order to deal with the state's budget mess.
He ruled that it would cause too much harm to employees.
Deputy Controller Hallye Jordan says the decision means state workers will continue to receive their full wages in July and August.
The judge says he will allow the administration's lawsuit to proceed so the courts can sort out whether the controller must pay minimum wage in the future.
The next hearing will be July 26.
