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!

He wasn’t eligible for attorney general either.

The Democrat party’s corruption is apparently boundless.

Not true.
Brown was governor prior to term limits, so it does not apply to him.
However, his dismal record as governor does.

Plain and simple. Jerry Brown is ineligible to run for Governor.

ALLERT THE PRESS

Seriously why haven’t they brought this up.

And why hasn’t the Republican Party stomped around yelling and screaming about it.

Why didn’t Brown’s primary opponents launch in to great diatribes about it.

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!!!

Does the law apply retroactively or only to those who have been governor since its passage?

If they change the rules, it is ok to change other rules.

Don’t play by their new rules. Invent your own and implement them. [

If that piece is meant to indicate that no person can hold the office for more than two *consecutive* terms...or,if it was passed *since* he last served as Governor it probably doesn’t apply to him.Of course electing him governor...particularly *today*...would be a mistake that Californians will regret for decades to come.

When was Article V, Section 2 added to the California Constituion?

Not likely to have been in the original.
And laws cannot be applied retroactively (except for The First Rapist and his retroactive tax increase of 1993...)

Just saying.
