“California Gov. Jerry Brown”
Wait, wasn’t he thrown out of office early years ago?
Brown was never thrown out of office. He won two elections for governor (1974, 1978), lost a race for senator (1982), and then won two more races for governor (2010, 2014).
You may be thinking of three of his appointments to the CA Supreme court, including Chief Justice Rose Bird, who were recalled back in the 70s after they overturned the death penalty.
No that was Oregon’s moonbeam, John Kitzhaber, yay he resigned!
It was Governor Gray Davis who was recalled. Then the voters put in Arnold Putzinnegger instead of Tom McClintock. Many Freepers advocated for Arnold, much to my dismay.
