Add to that:

• Jerry Brown vetoes industrial hemp bill
• California Gardasil Law Signed: Children to Receive Deadly Shot Wit...

But this brings up an interesting argument: Would Arnie (or another Republican, or Democrat, or Liberal, or Conservative governor) done the same?

 

OF COURSE!

 

Still think "democracy works"? Still think it is "government by the people..."?? Still believe in "CHANGE"??? Still have faith "things will get better after the next election"????

And add to that:

He thinks shackling pregnant inmates is OK

 

No to all your questions, Nota.

Brown is 73 and will not run for reelection so it's not like he's trying to get the Latino vote.  But he will pass as many unpopular bills as he can and veto anything positive for the remainder of his term knowing there are no consequences for himself.  And whoever replaces him will be no different.  But it would sure be fun doing another recall.

CA Governor Lets Police Search Your Smartphones At Traffic Stops

While it had been rumored it's unfortunately now confirmed that California governor Jerry Brown has sold out your privacy to law enforcement. After a bad court ruling gave law enforcement the ability to search your mobile phone during a traffic stop, the California legislature realized the ridiculousness of the situation and passed the bill requiring a warrant pretty quickly.

But, unfortunately, despite widespread support for it, Governor Brown has vetoed the bill, meaning that your mobile phones are fair game for searches without a warrant...

Brown is on the side of the police and not the citizens and Constitution.
