Wow!
Me too. Kinda relieved to tell you the truth. No way this one will be as bad as Harris would be.
According to the Catholic League, she lost a big supreme court case against churches in 2012 while on the Obama team:

Last October, when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in this case, the Obama administration’s lawyer proved to be such a secular zealot that she stunned even the more liberal members of the high court. Leondra R. Kruger made such an extremist argument that she even got Justice Elena Kagan to agree wholeheartedly with Justice Antonin Scalia.
Had the Obama administration won, the government would have been able to order the Catholic Church to accept women priests.
Just another political “affirmative action” appointment, which has diluted the judicial competenece on state and federal courts
Pitiful
He receives his orders eagerly from his masters.
Black privilege ping.
The state is already as FUBAR’d as can be.
She will just be another of many nails in the coffin that’s already under ground. lol
I don’t even recognize it as a state anymore. It’s a landfill.
The important phrase here is "as such."
In other words, in the specific application of a religious organization that has been incorporated ("as such"), Kruger is just pointing out what the Justices already know, that as a corporate entity it is no different from any other corporate entity. What the drama was about was that Kruger was arguing that the policy towards religious corporations be separated from the 1st Amendment cover story that has been left in place to hide its corporate status. What Kruger wanted to do was rip off the veil and shove it in America's face, and that shocked even Kagen. No one in that courtroom doubted their authority to dictate corporate policy, however.
If you don't understand the abuse of corporate law, you will never understand the logic of the courts, because it's ALL corporate law now.
“Jerry Brown is not a serious man.”
Yes, he is. He’s a very serious hard-left radical. I went to Berkeley when he was Governor and lived in Oakland when he was mayor. I had to interact with his group in the 70’s and 90’s. They are very serious about what they are trying to accomplish and about what they will do to accomplish it. By and large, Jerry and his group are serious enough that they are running the United States of America now.
The Governor can just appoint someone outright, no confirmation needed? I didn’t know that. Terrible idea.
She’ll run for governor or senate when one of our outstanding senators retires. Newsom for governor. We’re screwed forever.
Remember this is California, Stupidity, Ignorance and Moral Bankruptcy are Celebrated out here.
She has to be "confirmed" by a 3-judge panel, and then the voters at the next general election decide whether or not she is "retained."
There is a three person panel, which includes the state AG and two other people whom I can’t recall at the time. They can vote no, but rarely do.
Governor Brown can always be counted on to be a ‘mind blower’.
