Gov Brown's Newsroom - Check for Vetoes

[CaliforniaLiberal]

Here is Governor Brown's official news page. We can watch for announcements of bills vetoed or signed.

http://gov.ca.gov/m_newsroom.php

The "Legislative Updates" have the Bills signed and vetoed as well as his statements that go with his action.

This statement seems short and to the point. Same logic might support the veto of an anti-gun bill. Maybe.

Reading the veto letters is interesting.

I like this one:

http://gov.ca.gov/docs/SB_0105_Veto_Message.pdf

"While I appreciate the value of wearing a ski helmet, I am concerned about the continuing and seemingly inexorable transfer of authority from parents to the state. Not every human problem deserves a low"

Amen to that.

Another really interesting one is his veto of the private funeral protest bill:

http://gov.ca.gov/docs/SB_888_Veto_Message.pdf

The most interesting part is he filed an amicus brief arguing that protesters should be held accountable, but he said since the supreme court ruled their activities were protected by the 1st amendment, he cannot sign it in good faith. He clearly takes stock in what the supreme court rules.

Has anyone graphed out what ratio of bills he has vetoed compared to bills he has signed?

This would be a little more accurate than reading the tea leaves as we are so oft inclined to do...

[CalBear]

I'm almost positive JB will veto AB 809. My perception is he has been leaning very heavily toward vetoing bills that require significant expenditure without any major reward during the fiscal crisis. I suspect he'll cite cost and veto it. Not sure about the others, tbh.

Perhaps the SCOTUS may influence Jerry.

There are several potential carry cases that may hit the Supreme Court.

One case that I hope the US Supreme court doesn't take is the Oregon case of a ccw holder with a mj card.

That case has so many things that could go sideways, it is too risky.

If the SCOTUS agrees to hear one or both of the "better cases", Jerry Brown just might veto the bill and say he is doing so until the SCOTUS gives a definite answer on carry.

If the SCOTUS denies cert on any carry cases this session, then he probably will sign the UOC and we will have a tough time with other carry cases since denial of cert could be interpreted by some that the SCOTUS buys that the second amendment applies only in the home.

Of course that is not my believe, otherwise if the SCOTUS did belief that the 2nd amendment applied only in the home, they certainly could have made both the Heller and MacDonald rulings alot shorter.

the best part about the veto letters, is that they are written in plain english. Without a bunch of un-needed "make me sound smart" words. With some personal notes in there too.

Seriously. They speak straight with each other, but they talk it up to baffle the masses (or it seems). Kind of sad.

Reading these letters makes me have more faith in JB. God-willing, veto our bills...

Now, "returning this to the Senate without my signature" means he's vetoing something, not allowing it to pass into law without signing it, right?

the governor can sign it into law, allow it to become law without his signature, or veto it.

That's the veto.

please veto more stuff

I would vote for a candidate who's platform was to veto 75% of the laws submitted to him per year. Then the legislature wouldn't need to make up 800 new laws a year.
Only 200...wow. That is still a lot.

I would support a candidate who promised to veto every bill that increased the size and intrusion of government while actively working to reduce the size and intrusion of government.

Guess what? There is nobody for me to support.



Sorry, guys. Your fear (Rep/Dem) has made supporters of the Constitution in office a non-possibility.


I'd vote for R. Paul but few others really would.


On topic: I'll be checking the link to follow Moonbeam's actions. I left CA during his younger regime. I don't trust him.
