It is embarrassing to see the public swallow the media ignorance of the basic legal fact that term limits apply to all governors in California. Jerry Brown deserves no special status. Stop being fooled. Of all people the Attorney General should uphold the law!
To: flamefront
He wasn’t eligible for attorney general either.
The Democrat party’s corruption is apparently boundless.
To: flamefront
Not true.
Brown was governor prior to term limits, so it does not apply to him.
However, his dismal record as governor does.

True, and funny you mention that. He questionably got away with beating a legal challenge
before.

Plain and simple. Jerry Brown is ineligible to run for Governor. ALLERT THE PRESS
Seriously why havent they brought this up.

Why didnt Browns primary opponents launch in to great diatribes about it.

Brown was governor prior to term limits, so it does not apply to him. That is the only and false argument we are hearing from Brown on the matter. Do laws have no meaning? The law applies today. He was a 2 term governor. He is not able to run. If it were that way all kinds of exceptions would be allowed.

Exactly, - why? Has everyone swallowed the false logic of no term limits being in place 20 years ago means they don't apply today.
This will make a great study some day in mass delusion.

Well, unless there’s another section that’s applicable, it doesn’t qualify “two terms” as “two consecutive terms” or mention that the law only applies to candidates AFTER a certain calendar date (ie no prior exceptions).
Why is not the Republican Party not challenging this and trumpeting his ineligibility? Get the lawyers in the courts and start the lawsuits NOW. Be effing proactive CA Republican Party!!!

So Brown figured - nobody is looking, I'll try to get away with it too.

It is my understanding, the law is not retroactive to prior to when it was enacted. No one could be elected more than twice after it was passed.
Whether or not this is correct, we have to accept the courts would rule in his favor. That is how the system works. Does anyone doubt this?
We need to defeat him at the ballot box.
Reminding people he already was governor and started CA’s decline will help. Define Brown as the failed incumbent.

I think politicians on both sides would like to have unlimited terms. And no more elections.

Was this actually adjudicated, as far as the idea of “not retroactive” goes? I’d love to know.

Exactly, - why? Only one explanation is possible.
Republican and Democrat alike have decided that the US Constitution is no longer the supreme law of the land.
So buy extrapolation the States Constitutions also no longer have any significance.
Constitutions are impediments to politicians doing as they like so they must be studiously ignored.
It politicians start bringing up the constitution in debates or when speaking to the press the plebes might notice these archaic documents start reading them and take notice that politicians have been tracking mud across their civil rights for years.

Come on, people, we're better than this...
The fact that the two-term limit applies only to persons "elected or appointed on or after November 6, 1990" is right there in the freakin' Cal Constitution.
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE 20 MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS
SEC. 7. The limitations on the number of terms prescribed by Section 2 of Article IV, Sections 2 and 11 of Article V, Section 2 of Article IX, and Section 17 of Article XIII apply only to terms to which persons are elected or appointed on or after November 6, 1990http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/.const/.article_20

I think politicians on both sides would like to have unlimited terms. And no more elections. Sure they would, power is more addictive than cocaine.
There is only one reason that Senators like Kennedy and Bird run for reelection until theyre dead. They cant imagine life with out power.
