Without illegal aliens on the jury, how the hell are we going to know what the illegal alien “lawyers” are talking about?

Brown is the sanest Democrat in Sacramento. (OK, that’s like being the tallest mountain in Kansas, but still...)

This from the same idiot who has no problem appointing illegal invaders as “officers of the court”.

This is the guy who just signed a bill to allow illegals to practice law in CA and another to allow illegals to have a driver’s license in CA. We live in bizarro world.

It's really pretty simple -

Being a lawyer is an opportunity; serving on a jury is a responsibility. He's all for providing the opportunities but opposed to imposing the responsibilities.

One wonders if CA offers its bar exam in Spanish, similar to the DMV in some states.

Yep, all the goodies with no downside. It’s good to be illegal.

And, yet, illegals are now allowed to obtain legal driver’s license, and practice law within the state of California!

This is just crap from Brown trying to make people think he’s got a shred of sanity left.

Nothing is further from the truth.

Illegal aliens can practice law?

Why stop there? Why not hold office, and rule the Gringos?

As for Illegal Alien driver’s license, that was the Holy Grail for them: Motor Voter will do the rest.

Meanwhile, what do we hear from the California Republican Party?
