MOSK, J.
I concur in the judgment.
It is plain that article I, section 28, subdivision (f) of the California Constitution does not abrogate the “double the base term” limit of Penal Code section 1170.1, subdivision (g), as applied to “on bail” sentence enhancements under Penal Code section 12022.1. The reason is simple and straightforward. As I explained in my dissenting opinion in People v. Prather (1990) 50 Cal.3d 428, 441 [267 Cal.Rptr. 605, 787 P.2d 1012], the constitutional provision “has no relevant effect . . . whatever” on the statutory measure.
