Jerry Brown Will Run for Governor of California!

LA Times confirms that Jerry Brown will run for Governor of Cali-Cal.

Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown will formally announce Tuesday that he is running for governor, a job he last held nearly three decades ago, according to a source close to his campaign.

Though he had been plotting this run for two years, Brown had resisted making it official while two would-be Republican contenders have openly battled for their party's nod. The winner of that primary contest in June, whether it be former EBay chief Meg Whitman or California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, will have substantial personal wealth with which Brown will have to contend in the general election.

This is going to get juicy! Good Luck, Mr. Brown.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown won't Defend Prop 8 in a Federal Case

Interesting

Thanks to Mad Professah for the little birdy

Jerry Brown wants to go to Federal Court

Cali's Jerry Brown wants to challenge Prop 8 in the Federal Court. I'm not sure if this is a good idea yet, but listen to what Jerry has to say.

I'm still not so sure

Repeal Prop 8? Did I hear that right?

Here's some interesting news on Saturday morning, gang. The California Attorney General Jerry Brown is urging the state Supreme Court to repeal Prop H8.

Jerry also filed a legal brief saying the measure that amended the state constitution to make marriage for straights only is unconstitutional because it blocks out a minority group (us) of a fundamental right.

Interesting switchorooie for Brown, who earlier in this game said he would defend Prop 8 against any legal challenges. But after deeper probing in the laws and constitution, Brown was to say the least, enlightened.

He said: "It became evident that the Article 1 provision guaranteeing basic liberty, which includes the right to marry, took precedence over the initiative. Based on my duty to defend the law and the entire Constitution, I concluded the court should protect the right to marry even in the face of the 52 percent vote."

This is a major move. I'm sure that the supporters of Prop H8 are pissed, but that's a good thing.
