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.

As much as I would like to see Brown get the boot, you cannot make a law that punishes, or applies to, a person who committed an offense or an action that took place before that law took affect. Example: If you jaywalked today and it was legal, they couldn't pass a law tomorrow and bring you to court for jay walking yesterday. Brown is exempt and it is not a fake exemption it is real. You, and all FReepers, should know that and be aware of it. There are many reasons not to vote from Brown, his eligibility isn't one of them. Stop spinning your wheels for things that are false, don't be liberal like in your actions.

It not a punishment, it'a a limit.

I agree. As mush as I would love to see Brown frogmarched to the pokey with a raincoat over his head, he is exempt.

Plus if he couldn’t run, the RATS would probably pull a Torricelli.

Using that logic, the three strikes law can not count any old crimes.... Is the slate wiped clean when the law is passed?

Your logic is faulty in that the law applies to the new action, not the old.
