Simon for Governor | 6/27/02 announcement

Simon for Governor Statement on Pledge of Allegiance:

The people of California, who care about their nation's grand traditions such as the Pledge of Allegiance, did not have their voices heard as the Pledge of Allegiance came under assault.

Gray Davis and Attorney General Bill Lockyer failed to defend the Pledge of Allegiance in court.

· "The State of California did not join in the motion to dismiss or otherwise participate in the District Court proceedings. [from Ninth Circuit opinion.]

The state of California was the only major defendant to refuse to defend the Pledge of Allegiance at either the trial court or the appellate court. The other two major defendants - Elk Grove Unified and the United States of America - defended the Pledge of Allegiance, as evidenced by counsel.

· FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: "Kristin Door, Assistant United States Attorney, Sacramento, California, Lowell V. Sturgill, Jr., Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. for federal government defendants'appellees. [from Ninth Circuit opinion.]

· SCHOOL DISTRICT: Irving Scott, Terence J. Cassidy, Porter, Scott, Weiberg & Delehant, Sacramento, California, for school district defendants-appellees. [from Ninth Circuit opinion.]

· CALIFORNIA: "The State of California did not join in the motion to dismiss or otherwise participate in the District Court proceedings. [from Ninth Circuit opinion.]

The court states in its opinion that State of California's statute validating the Pledge was implicated by the suit and that California benefited from the dismissal.

· "It [California] did, however, sub silentio, receive the benefit of the district court's ruling dismissing the complaint. Accordingly, a reversal of the order would result in the reinstatement of the complaint against the state. [from Ninth Circuit opinion.]

· "The California Education Code [52720] requires that public schools begin each school day with 'appropriate patriotic exercises' and the 'the giving of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States shall satisfy' this requirement." [from Ninth Circuit opinion.]

Gray Davis had every opportunity to call on Attorney General Bill Lockyer to defend the Pledge of Allegiance. In fact, yesterday he called on the Attorney General to file a brief.

If he can do it now, why couldn't he have done it then?

I hope Simon can get some mileage out of this.

[folklore]

You can bet if it had been District Court.com, they would have been there with bells on.

[irv]

If he can do it now, why couldn't he have done it then?

Because he couldn't see the profit in it, then. Typical Democrat.

Hey Liz, back off. These two clowns er rats are busy taking bribes to keep evil conservatives like you away from Sacramento and winning elections.

They didn't have time to go protect the constitution from an old ACLU/America hater retired judge.

Remember LockiLiar and Herr Davis only take bribes for the chilrun, the gay predators and their dark side voting cults.

So cut them some slack. That evil Simon has a bunch of tv commericials making fun of our favorite Fascist Gov, Grayout Davis. So they don't have time to defend the constitution, and being good rats they hate GOD.

Did the Rat controlled Kali legislature pledge allegiance this morning and demand the scalp of the old drugged out ACLUer who played judge for a day and tried to take God out of our pledges?

[evolved_rage]

They must have run out of quarters for the Coin-Operated Governor. Go Simon Go!

[NormsRevenge]

If he can do it now, why couldn't he have done it then? Why Indeed :-?
DUMP DAVI$ & the Den of Socialists

Are you kidding? They probably had a party at the governor's mansion over this one, with the 9th Circuit judges as the guests of honor.

LOL. Yeah, "Celebration Time" for lefties.......
Whole lot of bogeyin' going on in Sacramento over this.

[Grampa Dave]

Of course, Fascist Davis charged everyone $50,000 to come in and party!

He was busy raising money when this drummed up case was presented to the Kangaroos of the 9th Circus Clowns pretending to be judges.

Notice the silence from the socialists, fascists and communists of the Rat Kali Legislature on this outrage!

[Liz]

Don't doubt it in the least. Greedy DemonRat creeps'll use anything to pocket the bucks. Only alert Cali voters will prevent grayboy from using this as a campaign issue.

Grey Dufus was too busy sucking up to corrupt Mexico and it's salesman/honcho Vicente Fox

 

[Liz]

If he can do it now, why couldn't he have done it then?

Why not before? What and disappoint his "tolerant and compassionate" lefty aetheist pals?

Grayboy's gotta take his phony position for the "Pledge Under God" now b/c it's the winning side.

[Grampa Dave]

I'm sure that you remember, right before Fascist Davis was sworn in, he flew to Mexico to conference with Fox to plan their illegal alien strategy.

Right after that he got one of our props declared illegal, I think it was 187 if I'm not mistaken. (If I'm wrong re the anti illegal alien prop killed by Davis and his clowns in the courts posing as Judges, would someone let me know what prop Davis killed.)

[aristeides]

In fact, yesterday he [Davis] called on the Attorney General to file a brief.

Has Gray Davis issued a public statement on the Pledge decision yet?

[dennisw]

Grey Davis is such a power mad punk and disgrace it's hard to know where to begin. He's as big a schemer and liar as Bill Clinton but only gets to attempt to ruin one state instead of the nation. That 12 billion dollar surplus he squandered sure would come in handy now, eh?

Any terrible thing that RATS like to do, Grey Davis has done it.
