Mordiceius posted:Press release from Kimberly Ellis's campaign: To add to this, at the convention they actually called it early for Kimberly. Apparently she was far enough ahead that they were telling people she won (not just her people, the counters from what I understand), and it changed at the last minute. Everyone was really taken aback. Hilary Crosby is also held in high esteem by everyone in the party. In light of this I wouldn't be surprised if there was genuinely fuckery going on. Edit: my sources for this being me, since I went there

You should see the Facebook group for CaDem Delegates. It's a loving bloodbath right now. Bauman supporters keep trying out "How many recounts do we need? Why can't you just get past this, WE NEED UNITY" While Ellis supporters are pissed as gently caress. Doesn't help that a large amount (not all, but a large amount) of the vocal Bauman supporters are white and a decent percentage of Ellis supporters are minorities because those tensions are flaring now.

California's top court overturns convictions because prosecutor excluded Latinos from jury Impressed how you could try and get away with this in 2011.

Yeah next time the prosecutor will just have to be less of a dumb liar: quote:The prosecutor said he removed the woman because she said she was unaware of gang activity in her town. That view, the prosecutor told the court, could be problematic because one of the defendants admitted he was a gang member in that town.

Nah that was the SF LAN thread, I brought it up a month ago asking if anyone else suffered Alameda County's insanely aggressive jury scheduling year after year almost exactly on the dime summons or I was just really unlucky By hey enjoy, it's kind of fun as long as you get fully paid by employer/public or if you are poor just get a short 1day civil trial and not multi week long criminal one. Everyone should experience and do it at least once in their life as an eye opener into partly how hosed and simultaneously good the justice system is

Lemming posted:I'm in Alameda too and I've had 3 in 4 years I think, but I never get called in Yeah as mentioned in that thread I was 3 summonses for 3 years in Alameda county (every 365 days on the dot), albeit without ever actually getting called in. It was very satisfying when I was going to be living in a different county by the time the third one was scheduled. I lived in south Berkeley and they were always scheduled against the Oakland courthouse. I've only had one summons in the 4 1/2 years in San Mateo county since then, again without being called in.

Well, if you want something to talk about, apparently we've signed a climate deal with China or something. Which I thought was unconstitutional actually, but, hey.

Don't want to sound dumb here but was Ahn bad or is this just a congrats to Gomez? I wish I knew more about that election. I'm automatically biased against Ahn because of his real estate background, but that probably isn't fair.

I got called in for jury duty in Oakland, had to go in 2 days for selection in a muder trial and got dismissed Pretty sure I aced the interview paperwork  Also got to watch white people admit they're racist and it would be fun to have copies of those transcripts when they do racist poo poo and try to deny it

Feinstein wants to ruin yet more lives, has learned literally nothing from her life in politics and how being tough on drugs is actively harmful to the country. http://www.npr.org/2017/06/06/531787093/lawmakers-consider-tough-new-penalties-for-opioid-crimes-bucking-trend Reminder: Dianne Feinstein is an undying monstrously evil person.

I'm automatically biased against Ahn because of his real estate background, but that probably isn't fair. Ahn's main healthcare priority was making it possible to sell insurance across state lines, and when pressed for his opinion on sanctuary cities he responded with a real weak "well i think thats for the courts to decide" kind of answer which is not acceptable for a district with the demographic makeup of CA-34

By any policy measure, he's pretty far to the left, but in the primary a lot of the Sanders groups opposed him because his endorsements made it seem like it was a party coronation. Once he won the primary and advanced to the runoff with Ahn, they ended up lining up behind him because again, he's really liberal from a policy standpoint.

No, but it's something they could try to crack down on if they wanted because they're kind of blatantly hypocritical and all. Trump and the GOP would love to gently caress California over for basically any reason they can.

On the bright side, just about every engineer I know under the age of 35 is solidly liberal, so the demographics should be changing over time. Not quickly enough to actually change our current shitheads in congress, but at least there's some positive momentum.
