OAKLAND - Republicans are set to file a lawsuit Thursday in Sacramento County Superior Court that seeks to disqualify Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown from holding the state attorney general's office.
The suit, to be filed by Tom Del Beccaro, chairman of the Contra Costa County GOP, will assert that Brown, a Democrat, will run afoul of a state law if he wins next month because he reactivated his status in the State Bar in May 2003.
Government Code section 12503 declares that no person is eligible to be attorney general unless "he shall have been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the state for a period of at least five years immediately preceding his or her election to the office."

I like ElkGroveDan's take on this. Either Brown takes office or Arnold gets to bypass his party, again.

The complaint is for a temporary restraining order and asking for an injunction to not allow any votes be counted.
The court can't delay acting on that, can they?
