01-05) 18:27 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- State Attorney General Jerry Brown was "profoundly wrong" and "invented an entirely new theory" when he urged the California Supreme Court to invalidate Proposition 8's same-sex marriage ban because voters can't be allowed to overturn fundamental liberties, attorneys for the measure said Monday. Brown's reasoning would confer upon the state Supreme Court power it has never had, attorneys Kenneth Starr and Andrew Pugno said in their response to the attorney general's December brief. Brown "is inviting this court to declare a constitutional revolution," the attorneys argued in the 29-page response. "His extra-constitutional vision is...

Attorney General Jerry Brown's legal challenge to California's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage marks the first time that the state's top lawyer has refused to defend a newly enacted ballot measure since 1964 - another epic discrimination case that eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court. In November 1964, an overwhelming 65 percent majority of the state's voters approved Proposition 14, a constitutional amendment that overturned a fair-housing law and allowed racial discrimination in property sales and rentals.Attorney General Thomas Lynch - newly appointed to succeed Stanley Mosk, a Prop. 14 opponent who had just been named to the state Supreme...

Attorney general says state's biggest problem is global warming. In reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Jerry Brown says, the state "should go about it in a very deliberate way, but involving as many people as possible at every level or we're never going to get there." Riding high on a global warming action plan he wants to take statewide, California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Wednesday he's thinking about running for governor when the job opens up again in 2010. "The thought has certainly crossed my mind, but I haven't really come to any conclusion," Brown said over coffee in a...

State sues S.B. County over global warming Ryan Orr April 13, 2007 - 11:04PM SAN BERNARDINO — Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. filed a lawsuit Friday against the county of San Bernardino’s recently-updated general plan because it did not properly address global warming. The lawsuit came just two days after a similar lawsuit was filed by the Center for Biological Diversity, the San Bernardino Audubon Society and the Sierra Club. Brown filed the lawsuit under the California Environmental Quality Act on the basis that San Bernardino County failed to evaluate and disclose the impending impacts of the plan on...

The Shill Media are offering up the usual pabulum about presidential contenders, disgorging reportage about the vapid and venal that's more soap opera than scoop. With mock surprise they speak of the presidential aspirations of Rudy, Lady Macbeth and Brokeback Obama, as they treat platitudes and political sloganeering as if they were less empty than the minds that regurgitate them. But amidst the din of this much-ado — about-nothing quest for copy, the media have missed — perhaps quite conveniently — the only truly scintillating story of the 2008 election. Radio talk show host Michael Savage is mulling a run...

Strange bedfellows: It turns out that ultra-hot conservative talk show host Michael Savage is backing Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown for state attorney general. "What can I say? I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?'' Savage said, when asked why he chose Democrat Brown over conservative Republican Chuck Poochigian. Savage, whose rants can be heard locally on KNEW-AM, is backing up his hot talk with some hot money as well. Savage Productions, which lists Savage as president and his wife, Janet Weiner, as director, has donated $5,600...

OAKLAND -- For most of his adult life, and now in the midst of his bid to become California's next attorney general, one political issue has hovered over Jerry Brown: the death penalty. In 1960, Brown helped persuade his father, then-Gov. Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, to delay the execution of convicted murderer Caryl Chessman. As governor in the late 1970s, Jerry Brown vetoed a bill reinstating the death penalty, but exerted little effort to block a legislative override that subsequently enacted the law. Almost a decade later, his appointee as state Supreme Court chief justice, Rose Bird, was removed from...

OAKLAND - In the foyer of his modest campaign headquarters, Jerry Brown proudly displayed a striking, life-size tile mosaic that was given his dad, Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, when he left the state attorney general's office 47 years ago to become governor. "I'm going to be able to bring it back into the building and put it up on the wall," said Brown, who just as pridefully offered that his late father had done "a hell of a job" as attorney general. But just a few minutes earlier, when asked whether sentimental reasons are at least partly driving him to...

1970's songbird Linda Ronstadt, best known for her torch song-style and mellow ballads, is working overtime these days trying to persuade her fellow Arizonans that it's time to dump President Bush "right away." In an interview broadcast on Saturday, Ronstadt was in the middle of explaining to WABC Radio's Mark Simone why she prefers living in Arizona to Los Angeles or New York, when she added one caveat. "The politics are very conservative here and I'm not conservative. I'm having a hard time sometimes convincing people that we need to vote for a new president," she offered. When Simone begged...
