https://apnews.com/02cd9e0b507244d6bb773e285057a7fb I'm certain there will be people to disagree with how judges decides who stays in jail and who goes home. People are in an uproar seeing as how several people accused of child abuse were allowed low bail (still in jail though) in NM. The...

I'm shocked, I tell ya - shocked! Police & prison guards are investing in fighting the California proposition to decriminalise marijuana. http://blog.sfgate.com/smellthetruth/2016/05/19/prison-guards-donate-to-keep-pot-illegal-in-california/ Vested interest much?

http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/01/california-high-speed-rail-waste-time-and-money Finally someone recognizes what a mistake this is going to be. Too little, too late maybe but Democrats have never been what I would call... timely... when it comes to budgets and paying for stuff.

Federal judge strikes down California gun purchase waiting period in some cases Sylvester, et al v Harris [PDF]

http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/memoranda/2014/03/05/11-16255.pdf The 9th Circuit ruled that the Yolo County Sheriff's policy of rejecting "self defense" as good cause for the issuance of a concealed carry permit is unconstitutional, as they did earlier in the case against San Diego county.

In brief: During WWII Japan forced many women sexually service Japanese service men; they were/are called comfort women. The city of Glendale, California has erected a memorial to them in a public park. A federal lawsuit is seeking to have the memorial removed, mainly on the grounds that it...

I'm seriously considering moving to L.A. in a couple months, but I'm wondering about the drought there. I know few of you have the clairvoyant skills of a Sylvia Browne, but is moving to L.A. now a terrible idea (because of the drought, not because it's L.A.)? It sounds like the drought may...

So California had a "may ssue" concealed carry licensing system, in which it was left up to the opinion of the local sheriff whether or not the license was issued. San Diego County, for all intents and purposes, denied this right to every applicant - unless, of course, you had the appropriate...

Apparently there is a California beach that has unusually high radiations levels. If true I believe there should be some signs posted to warn people. I haven't noticed anything about this in the national news...

It seems that with the heat wave continuing and tomorrow promising 44-45C temperatures officials are worried that electricity will be stretched to the limit. On Monday power demand almost outstripped supply. This continues to highlight the ongoing problem in California of continued population...

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/04/justice/california-1872-rape-law/ I am shocked. How can this guy get the conviction overturned using this argument? Would it be possible to charge him with another form of assault that would get around this ancient rediculous precident?

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2012/09/governor-jerry-brown-gay-therapy-minors.html I've seen a lot on the internets saying basically, "how dare he regulate medicine!" But don't we do that all the time anyway? I'm personally happy with this. Of course, I'm a native...

California is about to embark on a new $14 billion water project involving two 11 meter diameter tunnels 40 miles long underneath the expansive marshy delta region. This is the first in what might be expected to be numerous projects to address the growing issues over water reliability in the...

Second Year Science Graduation Requirement Elimination: Governor Stands Firm Jerry Brown urges budget cuts amid California's $16B shortfall At the same time Brown is pushing ahead with a high-speed rail boondoggle whose projected costs have ballooned: California Proposition 1A, High-Speed...

This is one of the most surreal, backward articles I've ever read in my life, Catholic Online writes: Whoa whoa whoa whoa, did I read that right? Is this supposed to be reverse psychology, or does the author seriously believe psychotherapists should be in the position of preaching Gospel to...

California governor signs bill requiring schools to teach gay history Okay, first I want to state that I'm not one of the loons described later in the article who think this is opening the doors to infect California students with the gay. I have no problem whatsoever with teaching kids about...

"A GOP lawmaker in California says he has a solution to the state's massive budget woes: He wants 13 conservative-leaning counties to secede and form a new state called "South California." The secession push is the brainchild of Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone, a Republican who tells...

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Today, a Federal appeals court ruled that a gay judge's opinion is just as valid as a straight judge's. The ruling that threw out Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California, has been upheld. Glad to hear it.

From the San Diego Union-Tribune: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/may/27/fireworks-shows-need-environmental-review/ In brief: A California Superior Court judge has decided that an environmental assessment study is now required for fireworks displays. This ruling is likely to be...

Welfare recipients are no longer going to be able to use their welfare money on medical marijuana, strip clubs, tattoos, psychics, gun shops, cruises, and casinos. CalWORKS cards were being used to withdraw cash in more than half the casinos in the state.

what I want to know, is if this Proposition 19 would make it ILLEGAL for an employer to forbid a worker to drive a bus or other vehicle, or operate machinery, when he comes to work stond. I know it allowes employers to prevent workers from smoking weed while on the job, but what about folks...

Proposition 19 on the California ballot would legalize marijuana. I'm inclined to vote for it but an Anti-19 article has some arguments against it. One I have no knowledge of at all: What's the skinny here? Is this a valid concern?

Go Arnie! Now just stop opposing decriminalisation

You gotta love the Bay Area :D So what are people's thoughts on drug law reform? For? Against? Indifferent?

Linky It'll be interesting to see where this leads. The feds clearly don't have the time or resources to be dealing with every little pot farmer out there who would be legal under California law, and other states might just follow suit, especially if they can tax the pot for revenues. I see...

The California Supreme Court is expected to rule on a gay marriage case on Thursday of this week. On the ballot in November there will be a Sanctity of Bigotry constitutional pollution initiative. It looks like a major battle is looming between Jesus and equal rights in the Golden State. I'm...

The Governator of California has terminated a bill that would have granted equal rights under the law to fags and dykes. Using Party of Jesus formula number one, the Governator stated that it was not up to the [insert_branch_of_government_recognizing_rights_of_fags] to decide this matter, it...
