Since Moonbeam is the AG and is currently running for Gov., this will probably hurt his chances. As far as I am concerned, that is two good things to come from this case.

It works for you on this issue, but maybe next time Moonbeam refuses to uphold his oath of office it may work against you.

If things work out right, Moonbeam won't have an office after January of next year.

Please stop quoting that asshole. We have him on ignore for a reason.
P.S. Facist much? You prefer Meg "personal assault" Whitman better?
Never mind, responding, I don't care. I decided to put your Rethuglican ass on ignore too.

I had eight years of experience with Moonbeam as governor. I would vote for anybody who ran against him and had a chance of winning.

Funny, I know a president of the USA who arouses similar sentiments.
We call him "The Shrub" or "The War Criminal."

I presume you mean a former president. It is a shame when the major parties sometimes offer candidates where the choice is which one to vote against.

Quite right, a former president. I stand corrected-- and heave a sigh of profound relief.I presume you mean a former president. It is a shame when the major parties sometimes offer candidates where the choice is which one to vote against.

I guess Box and I will cancel each other out. I also remember Gerry's years and I think the place ran better than it does now. Whitman strikes me as all ego and no political sense. A governor is not a CEO.

I think the main thing I remember about him is the terrible judges and justices he saddled the state with. Rose Bird as Chief Justice may have been the worst, but we were able to boot her out of office, along with some of her crackpot cohorts. I may be wrong, but I believe she and the two others are the only justices to be rejected by the voters.
Unfortunately, the judges of lower courts are still around, and will be until they die or retire.
ETA: They may not have been the only ones, but they were the first.

Proposition 8 allows interested parties to appeal when California officials refuse to do so.
You know, that's funny. I also had eight years of experience with "Moonbeam" as governor. I thought he did a pretty damned good job considering what he was saddled with. I'm going to vote for him again.
Boxlicker probably looks back in fondness at those years with Reagan as governor, but the truth is that Reagan trashed the state pretty thoroughly. He dismantled a lot of the social safety nets, gave business carte blanche to write their own regulatory laws, and opposed environmental laws.Jerry, like Obama, had a lot of cleaning up to do. The infamous Prop 13 (property tax revision), which started the state down the road to fiscal instability, happened on Jerry's watch, but he had nothing to do with that ... it was a revolt against the Reagan years.
I'd like to tell you where Jerry Brown got the "Governor Moonbeam" name. When he was governor, he proposed that the state build and launch a communications satellite. His office had calculated that it would pay for itself over the next ten years, and be a revenue stream after that. Republicans derided him for supposedly wanting him to launch a "California space program" and killed the legislation that would have approved the satellite.
But "Governor Moonbeam" turned out to be right. If they'd launched that satellite back in the '80's, California wouldn't be paying the astronomical fees that communications companies charge to use their satellite link-ups. (I learned about this telecommunications story from a friend of mine who was a high-ranking worker in the Department of General Service's Telecom division.)

In a 1978 Rolling Stone interview Linda Ronstadt called Jerry Brown, her "Little Moonbeam". After this, columnist Mike Royko, Chicago Sun-Times, nicknamed Brown "Governor Moonbeam."
Brown wanted to create a state space academy along with the satellite.

If he starts living off of his body fat during hibernation, he might not wake up until 2156.

I prefer him to hold his breath till then.
If not, maybe, in honor of gay marriage, he might want to pack on a few more calories:
