9TH CIRCUIT DECIDES THAT VIDEO OF PROP 8 TRIAL ARGUMENTS WILL NOT BE RELEASED
The San Jose Mercury News has the story.  Here&#8217;s a clip:

A federal appeals court on Thursday refused to allow the public release of the videotapes of the historic Proposition 8 trial that led a judge to overturn California&#8217;s voter-approved gay marriage [...]]]></description>

The same group of five Supreme Court justices that gave us Citizens United have used the First Amendment as a means to strike down a 13-year-old Arizona campaign finance law that provided matching public $$ for candidates who agreed to use only public funds for their campaigns and who were facing extremely well-heeled opponents.
The reasoning [...]]]></description>

&#8220;&#8230;when you are growing up, there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is the great equalizer.&#8221;

After Steve Cooley had been lodged in the lead   for most of last week, by Friday when a bunch of LA votes were counted, Kamala Harris suddenly passed Cooley, but she only pulled a little over 5,000 votes ahead.
Saturday and Sunday her lead widened to a little more than 14,000. (This morning it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

On Tuesday, voters rejected Prop. 21, the ballot measure that would have added $18 to most vehicle registrations and allocated that money to support California&#8217;s state parks.
And not only did the voters of California nix Prop 21, they did so by a healthy margin&#8212;with 58 percent voting NO.
So what does that mean?  Nobody feels [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s now evident that my enthusiasm about a Harris victory was premature.
As the provisional and absentee ballots come in, it appears that it may take weeks before the Attorney General race is decided.
Thursday morning, Ace Smith, Harris&#8217;s campaign stratagist, had a phone conference with reporters and said he thought her 2 percentage point lead would [...]]]></description>

On KNBC&#8217;s The Filter Wednesday night, I talked with Fred Roggin about why California had run counter to what appeared to be the national trend and gone so resolutely blue in Tuesday&#8217;s election. (Okay, Fred talked, I rambled a bit, let&#8217;s be honest.)
So why did California go so blue?

Well, duh.  First of all we&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

UPDATE &#8211; 3:35 pm:  THE CELEBRATION MAY HAVE BEEN PREMATURE
None of the papers have called this race, so a Harris victory is not official.  And, until it&#8217;s over, it ain&#8217;t over, although the odds look good for Harris.
One SF paper, The San Francisco Appeal, reported that Harris&#8217;s office had declared victory.  But [...]]]></description>

From the Guardian:  Jerry Brown triumphs over Meg Whitman&#8217;s millions

Governor Moonbeam is back. In one of the most remarkable stories of political resurrection in recent American history, Jerry Brown has won back the governorship of California, regaining a post he first won in the 1970s.
Brown, who earned his nickname during his first turn as [...]]]></description>
