Mike Savage is not going to be happy about this. Since this supposed "Conservative" talker maxed out his donation to wacko Leftist Jerry Brown this year.

They're going to have to refile as an election challenge - I just don't see how they'll get a court to agree to put in an injunction on this, not with voting already occurring. I think the merits of the case can win, but I just don't see it happening in time to matter.

Now, can someone explain to me why CALGOP isn't running ads bashing Brown over the head on this issue? 'Do you want an Attorney General who ignores the law?' The court of public opinion should be worked on right now. Otherwise, you'll have an angry electorate who will look at the challenge as being yet another 'overturning of their will.'

Brown’s camp argues the statute only requires that one be a member of the bar during the period.

Uhhh -- The wording is "for a period of at least five years", not just at some time during the five year period.

For the Democrats, a candidate caught breaking the law is not a legal and ethical issue. Its a "dirty political trick" to raise the notion that Jerry Brown has run afoul of the law with his Attorney General candidacy.

This is a remarkably inept move, but then it was probably not intended to succeed, merely to muddy the waters. But, as Happy Gilmore once said, "talk about your all time backfires."
