Lawsuit Seeks to Oust Trump-Hating California AG Xavier Becerra
American Spectator ^ | May 23, 2019 | Matthew Vadum

President Trump’s leading leftist legal tormentor lacks the legal qualifications to serve as California’s attorney general, according to a lawsuit pending in Golden State courts.

The ambulance-chasing radical in question is Xavier Becerra, a Democrat who abandoned the U.S. House of Representatives after 24 years to be sworn in as California’s appointed attorney general on Jan. 24, 2017.

Stalwart conservative Eric Early, a Los Angeles attorney who sought the Republican nomination in 2018 in the attorney general race, claims in his lawsuit that state law precludes Becerra from serving because he wasn’t practicing law for anything close to five years prior to his appointment or election to the office. Early lost his case the first time around and filed an appeal this month.

“The state’s top legal officer should have at least a modicum of experience as a practicing lawyer,” Early told this writer.

“Instead, we have one who has no clue what it’s like to be a practicing lawyer,” he said. “We have ended up with a pure, wall-to-wall politician as our state top legal officer, so it has not been a surprise that since he became attorney general, his agenda has been entirely political.”

“We might as well have Nancy Pelosi in our attorney general’s office,” Early said, describing Becerra as “a vessel for the resistance” to Trump’s presidency.

Becerra is the fellow who in early 2018, after three state laws became effective that turned California into a so-called sanctuary state, took to the airwaves to threaten to prosecute employers if they cooperated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

This prompted California Assemblyman Travis Allen, a Republican, to remark at the time that President Trump and then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions should “come to California [and] literally arrest [and] indict Xavier Becerra for breaking federal law.”

TRUMP NEEDS TO UNLEASH HIS DOJ ON BECERRA'S ACTIVITIES WITH THE PAKI IT SPIES.

===================================

The Awans had access to ALL the House Democrats Congressional data including Democrats' constituent emails.

The Pakis were using Cong Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus as their central service warehouse.

Crucial data was completely out of the House members’ possession. Was it sold off to America's enemies?

==============================================

Then-Cong Becerra headed the House Congressional Democrat Caucus. Becerra gave the Paki spies free reign over all US intel.

<><> Imran’s wife Hina Alvi, the only IT authorized to use Becerra's computer equipment, is on-record as logging on about 300 times.

<><> The rest of the Awan crew were accessing intel on Becerra's computer thousands of times using Becerra's passwords and codes.

This clearly shows the Pakis were operating as a cohesive, collusive undercover unit.

Becerra was looking the other way.

===================================

Becerra---now Cali's top lawman----refuses to answer questions about this. According to the House investigative report:

<><>The Awan family was logging in to Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus server with 17 different accounts

<><> The Awans' were accessing data belonging to Congressional offices that had no connection to the the Democrat Caucus,

<><> These patterns were consistent with data being funneled onto Becerra’s server from other members of Congress,

<><> House members said Becerra never alerted them to any aberrations.

Look, I’m all for it but this isn’t a winner. Practicing law takes many forms...it ain’t all Matlock and LA Law. If Becerra was licensed to practice law, that is likely all that is needed.

The relevant piece of California law was noted in the bottom of the article:

“Early’s legal team points out that Section 12503 of California’s Government Code states, “No person shall be eligible to the office of Attorney General unless he shall have been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the state for a period of at least five years immediately preceding his election or appointment to such office.”

Becerra has not been practicing law in the state for the past 20-some-odd years. But I guess it would be too much to make Dems abide by the law.

“Admitted to practice” means licensed. That doesn’t mean you actually have to be actively trying cases before the California Supreme Court.

Inactive doesn’t mean that a license has been revoked, just that a person has voluntarily requested to be inactive. Technically he was still licensed. This will be interesting to see how it plays out. I’d be happy to see him tossed as well...

it’d be funny if the 9th circuit is involved in his leaving.

to me, it looks like he only became active status again just to take the AG role.

Also to me, being inactive means even though you are licensed you are not practicing. so how can he be admitted to practice before the CA supreme court for 5 years prior if he is inactive?

That’s really the question at hand...does his voluntary inactive status render him not “admitted to practice”. He is still “admitted”, but inactive status makes one unable “to practice” until they voluntarily reactivate.

There may actually be something to this after all.

Still, if he feels free to file suits against the president for all kinds of nonsense, I’m fine with someone doing the same to him. And apparently someone feels there’s a case there.

An inactive member of the state bar may not practice law until becoming active and paying state bar dues as an active member.

Yes, that point was made previously. The issue for the Trier of Fact will be whether the law deems an “inactive” attorney ineligible for CAG.

And if he resists arrest, well, do your thing.

This Marxist piece of shit belongs in a jail, preferably in Tijuana, Jalisco, Guerera, etc.
