Plus he’d get to write ‘gay marriage’ into the California Constitution; the voters be damned!

To be expected from a dedicated communist.

The power to establish initiative and referendum in California is a favorable element of that state's political system. Ironically, it was established in the early 20th Century by the Progressives and Populists, the leftists of that era. I wish all states had this option, for it is an effective way to overrule ossified and corrupt legislatures and liberal dominated court benches. It would be a shame for California to lose it or have it diminished through a rewrite of its constitution.

Arnold made it dysfunctional with his unconstitutional big government expansion of the executive branch and the elimination of authority for elected representatives there.

Instead of a constitutional convention, how about a simple recall election?

Hooboy - I can only guess what will be on that lengthy agenda. “Like, tax the rich and buy puppies and kittens and dope for everyone, man.” Not that it would be a bad thing. Except for the puppies.

A “ConCon” is a truly dangerous event.
He’ll wish he hadn’t.

Well I don’t support a California Constitutional Convention.

He wants to get rid of term limits so he can be Governator until he dies.

“a way to fix what he described Thursday as the state’s “dysfunctional” system. “

If it’s dysfunctional, it is the fault of the people in power not the constitution.

He should do the noble thing and resign. And call on the Democrats in the lege to do the same.

They need to make it so the legislature can convene only one week every two years.

[Uncle Hal]

This would be last thing this state needs. the liberals would run it and the state would be changed for the worse. A terrible idea.

[Jagdgewehr]

When a leftist or even a moderate speaks of a Constitutional Convention, be sure it only means one thing....the result is less freedoms for the people and more powers to the government. It’s that simple.

[A Strict Constructionist]

Bury your guns now.

“Schwarzenegger said legislative term limits should be extended so state lawmakers have time to build sufficient experience”

Sufficinet experience at what? Being a left-wing NAZI like him? Robbing the consituency more effectively?

All I can say about AHNULD is if you sleep with a pig long enough, you get to smell like one, or think like one in this case.

Hmm.. a constitutional convention. How soon ‘til Dear Leader mentions those words.

[fifedom]

“Convening a new constitutional convention requires two-thirds legislative approval, a major barrier, advocates said. “

Well. We saw how well the Pubbies held together on new taxes, so the Constitution is DEFINITELY safe. /sarcasm

[Brad’s Gramma]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed.....WHATEVER....

Brad's Gramma opposes said endorsement.
