CA: Attorney General Candidate Steve Cooley Would 'Defend' Proposition 8
LA Weekly ^ | Aug. 19 2010 | Patrick Range McDonald

​Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, who's the Republican candidate for California Attorney General, would defend Proposition 8 in court if given the opportunity, says his campaign spokesman Kevin Spillane.

"The role of the attorney general is to defend the will of the people," says Spillane. "He would defend (Prop. 8) and appeal" U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling that found the anti-gay marriage ballot measure to be unconstitutional.

Spillane says Cooley considers his position on Proposition 8 to be a matter of "general policy" if he became the next attorney general, not an issue of whether or not he opposes same-sex marriage.

Which is 100% more than we can expect form our current Atty Gen, Jerry Brown,
or the Democrat candidate, Pelosi nephew Gavin Newsom.

Just when they finally may get an OK to start juicing Death Row inmates.. along comes Kamala Harris.. a gangbangers best friend..

Do innocent people die to advance political careers of some these days? .. ask the widow of a gunned down police officers or the widow and mother of a family gunned down.. no Thanks, Kamala. You are not worthy of much more than a meter maid job in my book.

Go Cooley!!

Ooops... thanks for the subtle way of reminding me that Newsom is running for Lt. Gubbie.
Another no-choice office - Twosome vs. Lapdog.
