Moonbeam Jerry Brown, just another rich Big Oil Man, masquerading as a Limousine Liberal. He is nothing but a follicly challenged hypocrite. His rambling, babbling, incoherent statement brings one word to mind: DOOFUS.

He is just another Cheech and Chong apsotle, looking to take the next free toke on the public hookah………

Apparently, in California v. Greenwood the CA state supreme court found an expectation of privacy in your trash but the US Supreme Court overturned this ruling. Isn't Jerry Brown a lawyer -as Attn Gen shouldn't he know this stuff or at least have a clue?
One can only hope that Californians learned their lesson LAST time he was Gov – but then he was elected to the Attn Gen position, so maybe not…

Man I thought Minnesota had some lunatic lawmakers, this takes the obtuse cultists to a new level.

Jerry Brown might not be the original spaceman politician, but he ranks up there with the worst of them.

This idiot is just giving more ammunition to his opponents for governor. What a clown!

Gov. Moonbeam turn a blind eye to corruption and a corrupt DemocratSS organization like ACORN?

NO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Jerry Brown(nose) sounds just as coherent as Eric Holder explaining the government's policy of prosecution of terrorists.

Attorney General Brown cites a poll which claims that 52% of Republicans think ACORN stole the election for Obama. The full results of this poll of 1,006 voters can be downloaded here. (Courtesy of Stage right)

52% of Repubs…….Where? And what was Jerry's motive for bringing this up even thought the % is incorrect? Bottom line, Moon Beam dropped the ball and a Private Citizen picked it up! Ooops! ACON = Corupt Organization Moonbeam = Worthless/Corupt

Does ANYONE in any area of government have a clue as to what they're doing? WHAT THE HELL?

Hey California, and the whole country for that matter, it's tough when you realize that the people you elect actually have power and are willing to wield it to advance their own agenda or even worse, get reelected. People had better wake up and really think about who they will vote for.

expect privacy in your trash can? Really and he has his guys call derrick, probably to try and hide as much as possible to save corrupt acorns. lol

As Attorney General in California, Jerry Brown is a complete failure. Jerry Brown simply chooses which laws should be enforced on his political opponents. Jerry Brown is dishonest and rotten to the core.

People need to understand that Jerry Brown IS the ENEMY of honesty and integrity in California.

Expectation of trash privacy? 52% of Republicans polled believe acorn stole election? People are going after acorn with exaggerated claims? Really? Not a word about the laws broken throwing out all those documents? The investigation?

Every day becomes more and more of a twilight zone episode.

He had the hots once for fat ol Linda Rhondstat. Does that count?

I would not be surprised if Jerry had joined Obama during the days he used to do "blow" (and I mean the kind he put up his nose…not the kind he gave Larry Sinclair).

But what do you expect from a guy whose greatest accomplishment in life has been to get Linda Ronstadt to accept "Li'l Jerry"…

http://johngalt.podomatic.com/

Jerry is a highly compromised individual. He has absolutely no business being an officer of the court.

If your trash is private, then you don't need to shred stuff. Which save electricity we do not have to spare, reduces carbon footprints since shredders do not need to be made and shipped. Thus the proper and environmental thing is to expect the privacy of your trash to always be respected.

See, I can do logic as well as Jerry Brown and ACORN, and Algore as well!

Give him his props. He had Linda Ronstadt when she was young and hot.

What does this have to do with his ability to be a useful public serveant?

Nothing, of course. He is a waste of breathing air.

The unborn? What is that?
The unborn do not even show up on their radar screen.

When will people wake up and get rid of this corruption???????

you left out education

With a representative like Pelosi and now this! California is now officially the cereal state, "Full of Nuts and Flakes". ACORN should be prosecuted to the fullest extent if there was a violation and everyone that impedes that investigation, including the bungler in chief should be also.

Look at the bright side – his support of ACRON just may cost him the gubernatorial election, and we might get a decent fiscal conservative instead.

I agree with you. I don't know anything about moonbeam. I live in Oklahoma, so I haven't really followed his career. So, you will forgive my confusion when I don't see the connection with oil.

I know for a fact….that the federal govt. requires contractors ro sign documents that all personnel, are responsiible for keeping personal information such as SSN, DL #, address, birthdate, etc etc..to protect from any potential identity theft…or suffer legal consequences of fines and jailtime. So what is it Mr. Brown does not understand??? Oh yeah, exscuse me, he does not believe in the US constituion. he does not expect to be held accountable by the UUS Supreme Court….he believs he is above the law of the land, can make up hisd own rules for friends and family (ACORN, SEIU, AFL-CIO, NEA, AFT, ect)…because these families will make sure he gets re-elected Gov. of Kalifornification??? the most broke state in the union, now bankrupt, due to corrupt politicians???? there are no future jobs… wait to see soon many hospitals will become closed healthcare facilities… as Kalifornia is overwhelmed by more and more illegal immigrants…….Mr. Brown, did you forget the bread basket in the center of the state that has no water to feed America in the future? oh yeah….. you would rather save a small minnow, by diverting water away from the valley, and ignore US Supreme court, just to protect your friends and families??

Keep up the pressure on the CA AG, Breitbart 9aka, BigGovernment.com).

Oh sheesh, what is he going to do with all these citizen journalists blowing his cover!! LOL, he's got to take his time to get his next story straight, then in the next interview he will have all the answers he wants us to have…

Obviously whatever drugs that you are on are clouding your already convoluted mind. To take the position that you dare defend this criminal organizaton, you certainly appear to be in the tank for crooks. You know what they say, "birds of a feather and so on…… The good citizens of California can't catch a break with these moronic elected officials no matter if they are state or federal. It is the idiot voters that keep electing the morons. It is a good case for an IQ test prior to allowing individuals vote.

~ The price of justice is eternal publicity ~ Aristotle

thank you Andrew Breitbart for BigGovernment and BigHollywood and the publicity you are bringing to the injustice throughout the country

This is the same Jerry Brown that called out the California National Guard to protect his then-girlfriend, Linda Rondstadt's house, when high waves were threatening her expensive oceanfront property.
The same Jerry Brown whose ultra right winger, Rose Bird of the Calif. Supreme Court, had to be
forcibly removed by a vote of the people (waaay more than 52%) because she coddled criminals by refusing to
allow their sentences to be carried out.
That same Jerry Brown now wants to perpetrate another fraud on the people of California by not aggressively going after corrupt ACORN with more than enough evidence to put them out of business.
The addled-brained boy wonder, still far-out in la-la-land, defends the criminals by saying 52% of conservatives believe they stole the election for Obama.

And he is 'thinking about' running for Governor again?

I am outraged beyond words! Are ALL of these people, right to the very top of government, REALLY this stupid and arrogant, and do all of them think we are this stupid? And do they think we are to be manipulated and have our society destroyed by these criminals? This corruption is endemic and even the AG’s office appears to be rotten to the core, defying the charter for their very existence! They aren’t protecting the American public in any way. There are no words in English to describe this, it’s so shameful! Why are these people not forced to resign in disgrace, every one of them? This country is going down the toilet, and everyone, including Jerry Brown and his crowd, has lost every shred of honor, decency, ability to think objectively, and for what? Does money really trump everything, EVERYTHING, today? Anyone trying to expose corruption is to be prosecuted and everyone trying to steal and rape this country is to be protected?!? I am sick to my stomach! Glenn Beck and a few websites like this are the ONLY people trying to defend us anymore. The rest of these people have lost touch with reality, and America’s justice system and executive branch and legislature operates more crookedly than third world banana republics did a mere 10 or 15 years ago. I am sick of them all! I have lost all respect for Jerry Brown with this sort of illegal double dealing as surely as I did for Dianne Feinstein as soon as I learned of the scandalous real estate arrangements that she and her husband made in the California desert years ago. All the people I once trusted are complete corrupt! It really will require a populist revolution in this country just to restore honesty to the government and to stop the endless rape of the people!

Why hasn't CA ousted this guy? Californina… If you dont do something, you deserve what you get.

He's a Progressive…even worse.

You people simply must realize that ACORN, who are only doing the lords work, must be protected from you the great unwashed proletariat. If you disagree, please report to the nearest political re-education camp. Unfortunately the ones in Siberia have been closed due to budget cuts, but I am sure that your local Chicago ward branch office for the California party will be able to direct you. Have a nice day!

Leave Linda out of it. She was one hot chili pepper in her day.

It'd be hilarious if they found some trashed ACORN documents that shows a relation between ACORN and this AG.

Time to break out the tar and feathers for that dopehead, Moonbeam Brown.

This just in….

The Justice Department has concluded that the Obama administration can lawfully pay the community group Acorn for services provided under contracts signed before Congress enacted a law banning the government from providing funds to the group.

Thought so. The fix is in; ACORN won't face a single charge.

But they'll try to hang O'Keefe & Breitbart from the highest tree they can find.

He has no intention of investigating anything related to ACORN. His announced investigation was all for show and never was intended to do much of anything. That's why his tap dance around the question so he could deflect criticism back at the Right.

Sounds just like Eric Holder, doesn't he?

Moonbeam announced in advance that he would investigate that branch of ACORN so that they COULD clean house before he got there.
They got the message loud and clear and did just that, but they were too stupid to shred the evidence.
Not to worry, though. He'll still give them a pass and garner many votes for the favor.

Brown is a Progressive and he will do whatever it takes to keep their agendas going.

WHEN WILL WE EVER FIND AN HONEST PERSON WHO WILL INVESTIGATE THIS CORRUPT ORGANIZATION? IS EVERYONE AFRAID OF THE PREZ? IS THAT WHY THEY KEEP BACKING OFF ACORN?

All Progressives (Independents, Democrats, Republicans) must be erradicated from our government, especially the Democrats because that is where most Progressives dwell. Their Global Warming and Health Care fears are bogus which means that these agendas are CRIMINAL and we need to find the scientists, politicians and business leaders who promoted this Global Warming con and put them in jail. This is as if the American People were attacked from within to get our money and to control us for future wealth. We need to get rid of lobbyists because they are turning our politicians into crooks and will continue to do so until this stops. I WANT THESE CRIMINALS TO PAY!!! THIS WAS A PROGRESSIVE AGENDA TO REDISTRIBUTE OUR WEALTH INTO THEIR POCKETS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THEY HAVE USED POLITICAL CORRECTNESS TO GUILT US INTO BELIEVING THAT GLOBAL WARMING WAS REAL AND THAT WE CREATED IT. THIS IS CRIMINAL!!!

No…Mr. Moonbeam…I'd say CNN/TIME, MSNBC and the rest of the MSM beat ACORN to it. The fix was already well established before election day.

Our politcians are crooked to the core, federal and state. We need to vote every single one of them in order to break the corruption. We need to get rid of lobbyists because, they and the our politicians are working against us. The pharmaceutical companies are working with the Progressives in the House and Senate to push health care down our throats so they can control us and redistribute our wealth how they see fit. Our scientists are working with the Progressives in our government/businesses to use Global Warming as another way to put controls on the people and to tax us so they can redistribute our money how they see fit. This is just the beginning of their attempts to control Americans and turn American away from Democracy into Socialism/Communism.

Someone should explain to Jerry that the US Supreme Court held that warrantless collection of trash left on the curb doesn't violate one's 4th Amendment rights- AND that businesses have no expectancy of privacy in their trash or dumpsters.

Lets’ see the first time around he was known as the “fruit fly” governor and “governor Moonbeam.” He was also known for appointing Rosie and the Supremes, the California Supreme Court who could never find a child killing baby raper that was entitled to an execution. I’m sure this time around it will truly be farce, as well as tragedy.

As a young man he studied to become a Catholic priest. But he dropped out of that and became a lawyer who worked for liberal activist organizations. He's been lawyer/activist/politician ever since.

Brown is one more reason that I am glad I sold all and left California. Californians have what they deserve, elected representative who lie and cheat. You have politicians who have no respect for your hard earned money and who believe they are better equipped to spend it than you. Now this trash heap AG Brown has been put back into office by the pathetic electorate majority and is clearly a fan of Acorn. And HE is investigating Acorn? Come on California, wake up. Your state will only get worse until you flush the trash from your government, people like Brown, Boxer, Pelosi, Feinstein, etc.

Mr. Brown is the ref not calling the obvious flagrant foul in the rivalry game. If the foul is not called, players begin to ignore the rules. A brawl ensues. The job will get done. Real men and women still exist. Whether Moonbeam is involved or not may become less relevant as time goes on. The word ‘complicit’ just jumped out at me. Think there were any calls from the AG office to the ACORN office pre-raid? It would be interesting to find that out. Just sayin’

what a steaming bag of crap this a-wipe is

Guess what, Kah-lee-four-nya, elections have consequences, and I truely believe that the vast majority of voters either do not believe that or they don't give a rat's rump about the consequences of who they elect. As long as the candidate is out of the mainstream of American society, VOTE 'EM IN!!! Enter Jerry Brown, again. He is a loon who has proven it over, and over, and over……. and he will be elected again. This thing with ACORN is only a minor political inconvenience to him and he will make sure that neither he nor ACORN is held to account. AND HE WILL GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE DO NOT CARE!!!!

One more thing: Moonbeam not doing his job becomes one of many poster children symbolizing the cause of California's fiscal collapse. When you pay people to not work, they don't work. Tax dollars at work. ACORN got them to the polls to vote themselves free money. 2010 cannot come soon enough.

Yup, the AG's a dope – rope a dope!! Har-har-har!!!

Exactly!
And since they are dead, they will never vote, nor have their votes counted, to count. A viscious cycle.

He still wants to know WHY Linda Ronstadt brok up with him! DAMMIT!

If we must start dragging them from the houses of government and hanging them to get their attention, it will be on their shoulders.

Wel it looks like Holder has approved ACORN WILL receive money from the government according to Drudge today!!!!

HIS DADDY WAS A LIBERAL RADICAL PROGRESSIVE IN POLITICS. HE WAS LICKING HIS DADDYS BOOTS…………

As a resident of New Jersey, I am glad to see that we are not the only state with corrupt public officials.

Jerry Brown like a lot of politicians, is an enemy of the people. These people in power need to go.

Expectation of privacy in a dumpster? Should have asked him to cite the case (like Katie Couric did to Sarah Palin). Does that protection cover the city dump? Does the "right" disappear after the garbage truck picks it up? What if the wind blows it over and scatters the papers? It's more like half moonbeam.

Governor Moonbeam is just digging himself a hole. The American people are tired of government officials rationalizing criminal behavior. I don’t believe he could even get elected as dog catcher and that’s a good thing for California.

I read about 90% of the comments, and didn’t see a single one supporting Brown, which reaffirms my faith in the common sense of the people. Only in a state like CA that has a hard core of whacked out perverts with Marxist motives, can a nut job like Brown even be a factor. In any sane state,he’d be laughed off the stage. His flawed logic, his failure to comprehend the abuses of ACORN; his dismissal of ACORN crimes but focus on a dumpster violation is whey LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER. This is a dangerous man, and the public is paying him to spread his lunacy.

What's he supposed to do? Investigate one of the resources he has to become Guv'nah?

caught between BS and a dumpster.

Rich

Jerry Moonbeam was a scumbag in the 60s and continues to be a scumbag…..pity that California is filled with enouch idiots to elect Moonbeam as governor once again.

Expected better of Mr. Brown. Unfortunately another cool aid drinking leftist. Orwell was prescient.

Jerry Brown, you sir, are an incoherent shit bag.

What more do you expect from a radical left ideologue such as Jerry Brown. He has never tried to hide the leftist that he is and if California elects him as Governor they deserve every liberal, freedom ending law that is passed. You think that the state is broke now, just wait until Jerry has his hands on the hen house. The Golden State will be the Pauper State.

Pat Brown was a typical smooth-talking Irish democrat; not a radical progressive per se, more of a liberal political machine type.

After Jerry's two terms as guv, Pat wanted to bring him into the law firm where Pat was a founding partner, but the other partners voted against it because he was too radical.

Attorney General Jerry Brown Is Wrong!!!! The U.S. Supreme Court Has Ruled That If Trash Is Put In A Trash Can & That Trash Can Is In A Public Through Fare (i.e Street or Alleyway) It Can Be Searched Without A Search Warrant! Jerry Better Catch Up On His Supreme Court Decisions!!!!!

Brown was an early Obama supporter and counting on Obama's support should he face a minority (latino) candidate in the election for Governor.

Its all that LSD he takes I tried to get him to try crack but he said it smells up his car too much. Poor old Moonbeam.

In California v. Greenwood, 486 U.S. 35 (1988), the US Supreme Court held that people have no right of privacy concerning items placed in trash containers. The police don't need a warrant to pick through your garbage, and private citizens may do so as well. Since Brown brought this up he should have checked before making a comment. It took me 3 seconds to find the court decision on the Internet. On the other hand, Brown failed the California bar exam the first time he took it. The pass rate for first time takers from Tier 1 law schools is nearly 90%. Brown went to Yale, which is first ranked. I would conclude that Brown is lazy or careless. Do we really want this kind of person as AG? Or worse yet as governor. He was bad enough the first time through. Leave us alone already.

Mr. Brown must be partaking of California's legalized pot laws. Thank God he didn't make it as a Priest….the Catholic Church has enough problems withouth having Jerry Brown wearing the priestly collar. I do worry about him and Eric Holder, neither of whom have any intention of upholding the rules of law. They both need to be removed from any job that dispenses justice.

I see a total melt-down of the Democratic party. About damn time.

Impeachment now for Obama – anti American sentiment

I am right of Atilla the Hun. I believe all politicians are corrupt. I hate ACorn and what they do. Having said all that, other than his stupid poll about republicans he pulled out of his ass, I really do not see what is wrong with gathering all the facts and doing a proper investigation. Will it happen? Probably not…but everyone on the right chill until he actually ignores evidence…then you have my permission to tar and feather him and run him out of town on a rail. If he comes back, then roll out the guillotine.

Hey this is California and we are the leader of the greatest Green Bowel Movement ever! Brown did not have a active Law license when he was elected to California AG. Moon Beam does not need a stinking License to practice Law or be AG. Look at what we have for a Governor – this idiot RINO lost his brains to steroids back in Europe and continues to break every law on the books, plus drive the state into debt to the tune of 20.5 billion in 4 months. (sorry governor but you will not be able come anywhere close to your hero Obama) This is the great state that has giving the nation Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Bobble Head Boxer. We are so screwed out here!

Yes we do deserve them and what they have done to this once great state. We are so screwed – we are full of communist, socialist, eco-nuts and people that just hate the USA. Humm…sounds like the current Obama Administration. So I guess that it is true the elections have consequences we need to get all these nut jobs out of office.

If you can't convice em, confuse….Harry Truman

Brown is an incoherent lying scumbag, that is not my opinion – it is a FACT.

It will be Jerry Brown and his ilk that will force the good people of this country to take arms and recover our country. Holden has just ruled that ACORN has a right to our tax dollars! No one has a right to my labors!

=================================
Obama runs his administration like his Chicago thuggary – so it's no suprise that he'll make arrangements to fund millions of our tax dollars into his favorize criminal organization.
=================================

The historic corruption and fraud continues from Acorn, Brown, Holder, the dem's and Obama & compny.

for pete's sake, this is illegal to do in the UK! Surely it's the same here…

What in the Hell is happening to this country? The lunatics are running the asylum and there us no one to keep them in check. The Dems will take care of our immigration problem — no one will want to live here by 2012.

If the intelligent homosexual community doesn't get "itself" educated about "Communism", then they are truly destined to be the next "jews" as in Nazis Germany. The democrat ( NOT DEMOCRATIC) party in America wants a TRULY…Communists..Socialists…Marxists…Leninists nation in America. Now.. who is stupid here?…..Our majority of peoples who are Judeao Christians have ALWAYS tolerated those folks with a "different" sexual preference… although… with understandable AND reasonable limits….i.e. the "freaks" limited. There's also probably "tolerable" other religions that will accept a measure of homosexuality .. providing , again, that it is "reasonable"…to the majority… without "flag-waving…threats, etc.". But the "Communists" WILL drag you folks to your death!…Please read some HISTORY! to LEARN that history repeats itself . Dudge

Sorry Mr. Flake, for a guy who wasn’t qualified to be the CAG, you certainly are free with your mouth and our tax money. How about you coming up with the proof of your eleigiblity and then remembering that ACORN is being investigated for acting like crooks and whisper in Holder’s ear that it’s our tax money not his and ACORN at this time is in breech of contract.

I think the AG may want to read California v Greenwood (1988) before he talks about an individual's or an organization's "expectation of privacy" in the trash placed outside of the curtilage. Not trying to tell him how to do his job, but he might want to actually read the SCOTUS' opinion on that before he starts trying to exclude that evidence…

Like I said, "what is law when prosecution is subject to predjudice"?

The law is impotent, and truth is lost. The powerful are securing absolute and eternal power right before our eyes. The connected refuse to investigate each other. These leaders of ours represent the most corrupt America has ever seen.

Checkmate?

Embarrassed ACORN accidentally registers George W. Bush

The Rasmussen Poll, which is the most accurate of all polling, will bring old Jerr down to earth. Maybe the AG should read it. 26% of voters strongly approve of Obama's performance. 41% strongly disapprove of his performance as president. JB, look up and see how accurate Rasmussen was in the Virginia and New Jersey races. He interviews likely to vote folks, instead of the Joe Blow on the street. Imagine, JB is planning on investigating the individuals who filmed apparently illegal activities on ACORN's office but he won't investigate his own stuff. Go to Biggovernment .com and see the scandal. How scummy.

Biased media is biased media.

Jerry should turn his bar card in, or start attending MCLE classes. It has unequivocally been held by the U.S. Supreme Court (since the 1960' s) that a person has no expectation of privacy for trash thrown out.

THIS ACORN DECISION SHOULD BE THE END OF BROWNS CAREER AS A LIBERAL TOUT..

I despise Moonbeam, but his answer is not as bad as made out. Some of what he said was in response to questions, for which we cannot fault him. He did promise to look at everything and get to the bottom of it, setting aside the purely political element. The important thing is whether he fulfills his promise. The rest is just standard Moonbeam.

Sounds like the "indignant" AG Brown, got the word from "The Fraud in Chief" NOT to cause Acorn any problems,
so "just let it pass", kind of like he did with the Black Panther Thugs that got kicked loose on charges of voter intimidation. This Corrupt Administration from TOP TO BOTTOM is nothing but a bunch of Thugs from Chicago, that ALL cover for each other. Obama can't give a speech without his teleprompter, just as he couldn't write his OWN book, without the aid of Terrorist/Friend, Bill Ayres. Question: WHEN ARE "REAL JOURNALISTS" GOING TO EXPOSE THIS, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE 'LYING OBAMA HAS DONE AND HIS HIDDEN PAST?

Arnold is the weakest Republican governor in California history, and the state is at a liberal peak with the rest of its elected officials. The liberal bias is so dominant in Sacramento now, ACORN is a bastard stepchild comparitively. Brown is just their high profile lacky. I can only hope that the FBI is able to expose even a portion of the illegal stuff all these people are doing before the Whitehouse makes the Bureau completely ineffective. Right for the sake of being right is dangerous. Left for the sake of being left is suicide.

People who defend ACORN when they dispose of social security numbers in refuse accessible by whomever are by proxy defending identity theft. I wonder if they can wrap their partisan egos around that?

Jerry Brown is the face of everything wrong with Caleefornia. Can't Californians find anyone better than this guy?

http://911essentials.com

Garnering the limo liberal and urban black underclass vote used to be simply a question of promising to steal money from hard working American taxpayers and giving it to the indolent in the hood. In the fast paced world of obama/holder that is no longer sufficient. Now a candidate must demonstrate an enthusiasm for ignoring the law whenever the crooks are black (Black Panthers, Kevin Johnson, Acorn). The new mantra is that criminal blacks are not criminals, just innocent victims of this evil racist society. The bar has been raised.

Jerry Brown. "Ole Moonbeam". Yet another glimmering icon of the pathetic, overtaxed, over-regulated, bankrupt, illegal-alien-infested, third world zone the once great State of California has become. Sickening. Excuse me while I go find someplace to puke.

These actions at ACORN do not involve white males, so it is a non-event. This discovery involves too many women….we cannot go throwing women, especially black women, in jail. Our government is tough against crime with men only. Move along. There's nothing to see here.

How can a VERY public agency, receiving public tax funds, expect any kind of "privacy"?

I bet Linda Rhonstatsays a prayer of thanksgiving eveyday that she was smart and saw the forest for the trees. He should put down the bong & stop drinking the kool aid. Hopefully Californians will get rid of him. I think he should be investigated.

…let's see, the CA AG says no to the admission of dumpster-fresh docs that were/are germane to HIS investigation because those docs weren't meant for prying eyes. Meanwhile, the NYT refuses to publish any story regarding Climategate because the emails were hacked, and they too were assumed to be of a private nature? Can the Left can justify anything if it fits thier agenda? (But publishing 'leaks' from anonymous sources in a republican administration is A-OK….)

I've got to get some more coffee in me and then watch the Woodstock movie again so the obserd to come into clear focus.

Why so surprised? YOU VOTED THESE CRIMINALS INTO OFFICE – AND WILL DO SO OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

If there was no ACORN, there would be no Democratic majority in Congress nor a Democratic president because the roots to the economic melt-down would have been found planted in Democratic self-serving policies.

[...] Brown & Eric Holder endorse child prostitution http://biggovernment.com/2009/11/27/…corn-doc-dump/ [...]

2 Happy to see that so many know what ACORN and Jerry “the Marxist Martian” Brown are up to. But I do not see anyone challenging the state run media, the racist wanna be dictator in chief, or the huge voter fraud network (ACORN, SEIU, Black Panthers, etc…) that the Democrats have established. Unless that happens, I foresee that hand to hand combat may be necessary to stop ACORN.
Meanwhile, I urge you all to contact your representatives on a regular basis and let them know that we want America back. And do not tolerate the lies and cheating from the left.

Whet's next, the trashman reading me my rights before he is allowed to pick up my trash.

Enforce the law, Mr. Brown. That's your job. We are the taxpayers. You work for us. Not ACORN.

Just another stinking leftist protecting an organization of stinking leftists.

Let us hope that the Californians comeback to reality long enough to realize they are be bamboozled and keep this masquerader out of office

Why are all you hateful people picking on the moon child? All the lad is doing is marking time until the Mother Ship leaves Aries to take him home. In his case HOME might be the Napa State Hospital. Thorazine would be helpful. I mean he IS from California.

Why is anybody surprised about the Lord of the Flies having an affinity for scum bags like ACORN?

America we all need to band toghter and take back our country from these democratic idiots!when they come up for reelection vote them out one by one and start Gov all over with citizens not lawerys.people all around the United states have to stick toghter.now is the time make 2010 an examle!!

[...] US Commission on Civil Rights trying to hold Holder accountable for New Black Panther malfeasance. Meanwhile, Holder does an end-run around Congress to help out ACORN. California Attorney General Moonbeam offers incoherent defense of ACORN. [...]

Exactly.
Dodd,Frank,Obama and last but not least the money man Soros

Brown is out of touch and out of his mind. There is no assumption of trash privacy that has been deposited in a parking lot dumpster. Yes, if the trash can is sitting on the immediate property of the dumper, but not when it has been placed in a public area, such as a common easement for trash pick-up, etc. Also, a private investigator is not an agent of the government. They are private citizens, not law enforcement officers. Being such, they are not required to follow search and seizure case law, such as advisement of rights. Only law enforcement officers and officers of the courts have the authority to obtaining search warrants. Conversely, private investigators may be liable to criminal prosecution and/or civil tort if they violate the law in pursuit of their investigations. Ex-gov Moon Beam needs to brush up on current court decisions instead of attempting to appease an outlaw agency that could help shoehorn him into another government office. That's all we Californians need. An encore performance of the tree-hugging, 2nd Amendment detesting, left-wing, nut-case Jerry Brown in Sacramento's Executive Office.

For safe, legal storage of your most valuable documents. Forget about expensive safe deposit boxes and vaults. Just go to K-Mart and get yourself a nice 32 gallon garbage can and put it out by the garage. Remember, it's as safe as the Dollar!

[...] the anemic California GOP doesn’t have this bit of audio already cued into their possible ads against Jerry Brown’s almost certain run for CA governor [...]

Californians are stupid. They put up with all this BS and now their once beautiful state is a bankrupt, corrupt wasteland. If they had any brains they would all leave before the S**t hits the fan.

Brown will get to the bottom of this ACORN scandal. Why, just you wait and try to see. He'll expose them and their antics right out in the moonlight.

I live in California and I agree.
I strongly believe ACORN stole this election. The problem in California started in 92 with Bob Dornan being voted out in a district rife with illegal Mexicans voting for Loretta Sanchez.
Until the FACT that massive voter fraud is addressed in this country seriously, this problem will never, ever go away.
There needs to be strict rules at the ballot boxes – (very harsh penalties/prison sentences for those who work at the polls who get caught doing any sort of tampering or fraud); registered US citizens ONLY to vote with PROOF in hand of a vaild ID or perhaps a federal ID card system (I know, more government but what the heck) or some better way to control the problem of illegal votes. Without this you will continue to have ACORN laughing to more political victories.

CLUE – Ask any Democrat why they are against such suggestions or why they are afraid of voter reform and be entertained by their weak and very predicable excuses/answers.

Dumb, corrupt sh_t.

Here are the results of all "investigations" into Acorn…..NOT GUILTY….awards in the BILLIONS for tarnishing the "reputation" …..Paul Nueman, and all the rest of the dead cleared to vote Democrat until the end of time….don't like it to darn bad…..make any noise….and the justice department will deal with YOU……

Good old Jerry is the A.G.? A joke at best! He should take the time to read California vs. Greenwood
Supreme Court Decision on Garbage Privacy. He has it absolutely wrong. What a f___ing idiot!

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
486 U.S. 35
January 11, 1988
May 16, 1988

CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

Syllabus

Acting on information indicating that respondent Greenwood might be engaged in narcotics trafficking, police twice obtained from his regular trash collector garbage bags left on the curb in front of his house. On the basis of items in the bags which were indicative of narcotics use, the police obtained warrants to search the house, discovered controlled substances during the searches, and arrested respondents on felony narcotics charges. Finding that probable cause to search the house would not have existed without the evidence obtained from the trash searches, the State Superior Court dismissed the charges under People v. Krivda, 5 Cal.3d 357, 486 P.2d 1262, which held that warrantless trash searches violate the Fourth Amendment and the California Constitution. Although noting a post-Krivda state constitutional amendment eliminating the exclusionary rule for evidence seized in violation of state, but not federal, law, the State Court of Appeal affirmed on the ground that Krivda was based on federal, as well as state, law.

Held:

1. The Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the warrantless search and seizure of garbage left for collection outside the curtilage of a home. Pp. 39-44 .

(a) Since respondents voluntarily left their trash for collection in an area particularly suited for public inspection, their claimed expectation of privacy in the inculpatory items they discarded was not objectively reasonable. It is common knowledge that plastic garbage bags left along a public street are readily accessible to animals, children, scavengers, snoops, and other members of the public. Moreover, respondents placed their refuse at the curb for the express purpose of conveying it to a third party, the trash collector, who might himself have sorted through it or permitted others, such as the police, to do so. The police cannot reasonably be expected to avert their eyes from evidence of criminal activity that could have been observed by any member of the public. Pp. 43-44 .

(b) Greenwood's alternative argument that his expectation of privacy in his garbage should be deemed reasonable as a matter of federal constitutional law because the warrantless search and seizure of his garbage was impermissible as a matter of California law under Krivda, [p*36] which he contends survived the state constitutional amendment, is without merit. The reasonableness of a search for Fourth Amendment purposes does not depend upon privacy concepts embodied in the law of the particular State in which the search occurred; rather, it turns upon the understanding of society as a whole that certain areas deserve the most scrupulous protection from government invasion. There is no such understanding with respect to garbage left for collection at the side of a public street. Pp. 43-44 .

2. Also without merit is Greenwood's contention that the California constitutional amendment violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Just as this Court's Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule decisions have not required suppression where the benefits of deterring minor police misconduct were overbalanced by the societal costs of exclusion, California was not foreclosed by the Due Process Clause from concluding that the benefits of excluding relevant evidence of criminal activity do not outweigh the costs when the police conduct at issue does not violate federal law. Pp. 44-45 .

182 Cal.App.3d 729, 227 Cal.Rptr. 539, reversed and remanded.

WHITE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which REHNQUIST, C.J., and BLACKMUN, STEVENS, O'CONNOR, and SCALIA, JJ., joined. BRENNAN, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which MARSHALL, J., joined, post, p. 45 . KENNEDY, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case. [p*37]

WHITE, J., Opinion of the Court

JUSTICE WHITE delivered the opinion of the Court.

Not only that but the environmental fraud will be cleared up quickly….even though they falsified data they were in “fact” correct in all their data….who would have thunk…..every whish every whim of the left was in fact the TRUTH now and for all time….. Dr AlGore is the dean and will from now on be in charge of ALL peer reviews.

You've gotta be poopin' me, man!

ACORN is a criminal enterprise. They threw out evidence (to thwart your investigation). A citizen took it from their trash can… a practice approved by the Supreme Court. The citizen is publishing some of it. THIS "TRASH" IS EVIDENCE, MAN!

Jerry, you've gotta get it together… you are the Attorney General for the great state of California. Act like it, please!

Or, if you are unwilling to step up to the plate, then take your bong, and go on the road with Cheech and Chong. that way, you three soul-mates can reprise the Three Stooges.

California is in enough trouble without this jerk! Obviously he is part of the cabal of corruption generated from Washington. Get rid of all of them! If you want this madness to end, stop paying your taxes! We are too many to put in jail. Money gives the obamination adminstration power over us. Stop giving them power!

when I was a lad JERRY’S father was GUV. of CAL. we got a bunch of his (Pat Brown) bumper stickers & cut out the “R” in BROWN and re-glued it to the “P” in PAT brown so the bumper sticker read: RE-ELECT RAT BROWN Governor. We then placed them over the bumper stickers for Pat Brown. He was a rat then & his son is a rat now.

If the standard is that the dumpster is now private property, there will be a whole lot of people who need to be released from prison. The standard in court once in the trash it becomes public property. A whole lot of criminals had evidence brought into the court from dumpster diving cops. Well if CA reelects him they deserve what they get. Maybe the fence should be put around CA to keep them from escaping.

first the whole "right to privacy" is made up BS. Second if it DID exist it would belong to INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE. A PERSON has rights. A coorporation, group, couple, class etc DON'T GOT NO RIGHTS. Get it?

McCain was a terrible candidate, in the mold of Bob Dole and deserved to lose. However, any act of voter fraud or election tampering is a felony and should be investigated and prosecuted.

[...] would have a voice in shaping his policies, but which the Congress had already defunded due to its questionable practices- don’t bother taking it up with Mrs. Pelosi or Mr. Reid. There is nothing to see, here. Just [...]

Man am I glad I live in Missouri and not California, oh wait. I guess I have to remember the St. Louis prosecutor who waited months and then only after intense media criticism to indite the SEIU thugs that beat up black man Kenneth Gladney at a political rally. Then she charged the thugs with a hate crime, no wait, even tho it would qualify as a hate crime it was a big felony indictment, right, no wait, a misdemeanor? A misdemeanor, you say. Yup, What is it with our prosecutors?

ACORN, whose top boss is Abu Hussein from Kenya, our Community Organizer-in-Chief, is a system of local soviets first invented by Lenin and later adapted for American conditions by Obama's teachers Davis and Alinsky. How do you expect Moonbeam Brown will rule of ACORN lawlessness and abuses? Congress has defunded ACORN but AG Holder says this does not apply to further funding of ACORN brownshirts. After all, Obama's stimulus bill has $8.5 billion reserved for ACORN "jobs" – you know: phony voter registrations, phony votes (see Washington State governor race and Minnesota senatorial vote), intimidation of banks to give mortgages to "underserved minorities", etc. Brown will whitewash them and accuse that private investigator of "invasion of privacy".

30 years ago when JB was heavily involved in California politics, he had no standards. 30 years later, he still has no standards & no hair

California Über Alles

Why don't Democrats Just Break out the Cool Uniforms?
The waitng for the Donna Carron inspired Purple/ Brown Outfit is killing me.
the Big O with with ahammer and sichyl and a crescent moon.
it's going to be a beautiful day. perhaps the Americorps may model it first.
So Exciting!
Break it out in Detroit first or maybe at a Sarah Palin Rally.

wouldn't want to tick of the group that will help you steal the election eh?

Isn't it interesting that Calif AG Jerry Brown is more familiar with the minutia of some 2nd rate one week old Obama phone poll than he is with the USSC decision on the 4th ammendment regarding the overturning of a California court decision on the privacy of garbage. It's time to face facts folks, we've elected the children run the country in DC and an incompetent to be our AG here in the great state of default. We better rise up in 2010 and return to sanity or we will surely be doomed.

this is sad.. freaks like him, Acorn and La Raza are increasing membership into the KKK , Neo Nazi groups . and whats scary is they are enjoying it.. its called "job security" for these morons…

You know what you do with Brown?………….FLUSH IT!!

[...] the investigator is the one being scrutinized. Who is he working for…who paid him? Listen to the audio of Brown and the Tilden Show. Brown almost immediately quotes a poll saying 52% of Republicans [...]

There’s way too much talk about how the dumpster documents were found, who found them, who paid to have someone go through the dumpster, how much was paid, it legal to take dumpster trash.

There’s nothing about what’s in the documents, why were they in the dumpster, is it legal to throw these things out amidst the investigation and what is ACORN’s response to this news?

Attorney General Jerry Brown is an idiot and so is the Bozo interviewing him.

Awsome job Conservatives. Another forum for you to pat each on other on the back. You'll never have a broad view on issues when you only visit sites that back your preconceived ideas.

WHAT AN IGNORANT, CROOKED YAP! THIS MAN WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR????? SURELY THE CALIFORNIA ELECTORATE ISN'T THAT DUMB. OLD JER, HERE, PROBABLY CALLED UP ACORN AND TOLD THEM TO EMPTY THEIR FILES, SO NOTHING WOULD BE FOUND DURING THE INVESTIGATION HE'S SUPPOSEDLY CARRYING OUT. ARE THERE ANY HONEST, DECENT LAWYERS OR POLITICIANS?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA – and you libtards will elect him gubberna – guaranteed!

I guess the liberals "trickle-up" plan does work, trickle-up corruption that is. Corruption from libs on the local level all the way up to the most corrupt one of all, Comrade Obama.

Would be nice if you included a wikipedia entry telling more of the story ! This is the type of thing I like to have in my memory banks!

[...] Big Government – Calif. Attorney General Offers Incoherent, Troubling Answers When Asked About ACORN Doc Dump [...]

The right to privacy is certainly a debatable concept – even though the Warren Court said there was one – which set the stage to Roe Wade, how it according even to the most drug-related brain damaged imagination could a right to privacy exist for an ORGANIZATION on the dole from taxpayers. What the left is angry about is the journalistic "sting" used to be the practice of the leftist media – and now the Conservatives have figured it out and are using it even more effectively. Lets face it – a couple of kids with less than $2000 practiced more effectiveness as journalists than all of the MSM combined. The MSM has covered for Obama and his minions and the secrets covered up by the media are coming out. The media has lied to the American people for over 100 years – the Lusitania, Wilson being incapacitated and his wife acting as surrogate, FDR's handicap, the slaughter taking place in the Soviet Union and later in China, covering up the death camps in Germany, the purposeful sabotage to have the Russians beat us into space, JFK's trysts, manufacturing news footage in Vietnam. With the internet, this is changing – so the US government is trying to get a hold the internet and control it. When an engine blows, you either replace or tear it apart and rebuild it. Our government has blown – and we the Conservatives (I don't consider Liberals to be People, they are vermin to be exterminated) must tear it apart and rebuild it. The choice is that we do this cruel and bloody task and kill a few 100,000, or this country ends up like the PRC and we have a slaughterhouse with millions dead. I realize that is cold, but sentimentality and tolerance has pretty well destroyed one of the greatest systems ever to be on the face of the earth. It is time for cold, scientific precision.

I just CANNOT believe that this piece of useless sh*t might be governor of CA AGAIN!! What kind of rich libtards keep giving this idiot money for his campaign?? Who is going to step up to these bought and paid-for politicians? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

Adding the info about Obama just underscores the fact that ACORN and Obama are one and the same. Exposing ACORN is no different than exposing Obama– just easier.

A Twilight Zone episode is right. "To Serve Man" comes to mind, where aliens come to Earth carrying a book entitled "To Serve Man". Turns out to be a cookbook. Liberals are aliens, no doubt about it.

I guess he really wasn't serious about being Governor again. That was easy – Next ….

And let's not forget Berry has his "Purple Windbreaker" also… How I pray it will all come crashing down.

HAHAHAHA THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THE PRAVDA MEDIA IS GETTING READY TO BE WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH

FROM THE PORKULUS BILL – TO TAKING OVER PRIVATE COMPANIES – TO THE TAXPAYER MILLIONS GOING TO THE COMMIE ACORN THUGS – TO THE CONTINUED BANK BAILOUTS – TO THE HEALTHCARE ROBBERY………..ALL THE WHILE IGNORING 25 MILLION UNEMPLOYED AND OUR WONDERFUL MILITARY DYING IN THE FIELD WHILE HUSSAIN OBLAHBLAH AND THE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY FIDDLES

HISTORICAL REPLACEMENT COMING NEXT NOVEMBER, COUNT ON IT – THE ENTIRE HOUSE AND HALF THE SENATE……………HISTORICAL, IT WILL BE HISTORICAL

NO MONTH FOR THE UNEMPLOYED, BUT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS FOR THE ACORN THUGS

CAN'T MAKE THIS CRAP UP………………….

Yes, MikeB. they use the poor for their own agenda and never in their backyard. I worked among the poor and saw the community organizers first-hand. We would be getting them outfits and resumes for jobs – they didn't work, just advocated. Mostly using them to agitate for a few dollars an hour. We used to get some of the more enlightened ACORN people. I used to tell them to pass the word.

Jerry Brown is SCUM. He has no integrity.

He is unfit to be an Attorney General.

Get someone with ethics and have Brown face a real investigation of his activities.

He is simply a Partisan Jerk.

He sounds so lost and off track of the real situation.

JB,you were a joke in the '70s and an old joke now. Go get a non goverment job, go back to divinity school, retire or go back to africa with linda R . . .. JUST LEAVE THIS STATE ALONE.

He does have an active law license now: http://tinyurl.com/yf3j8a4 and it has been active since 2003. He should be subject to a State Bar inquiry and have his license stripped. Gov Arnold is the only one who can order an investigation into old Jerry – do you think he will bother???

CA State Bar complaints can be made at: http://www.calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_gene...

But of course if this were the Heritage Foundation or any conservative organization then the Moonbeam would be doing a 180. The FBI will investigate Mickey Mouse Club for voter fraud.

Jerry looks like one of those over sized M&M’s from those commercials..The dude needs ACORN,he’s not going to throw them overboard..duuuuuuh! Conflict of Interest to Liberals is only a matter of how many people they kill with their stupid politics…f’k you liberals dip sh’ts in the a** with a double condom!!

Yeah Right, remeber, who put moonbean into office? Moonbean voters

Another brilliant illustration of how liberal fascists have perverted America's political system , "justice" system, and just about every other system to reach their odious goal of international totalitarian marxism. Jerry Brown is not just a failure as Attorney General, he is totally corrupt

Do Californians really want to take another ride on the Jerry train? No stops, just straight off the cliff! Who are these Republicans? ACORN stuffs ballot boxes, it's what they do, but McAmnesty stole the election for the democrats!

Governor Moonbeam Returns! My God, this man ruined the oil and gas industry in California, and wanted the state to have it's own space agency, complete with satellites.

So many of the chickens now coming home to roost in California can be traced directly back to Jerry Brown's policies as Governor. Jerry Brown IS THE PROBLEM.

But California "Law Enforcement" will bow and scrape before him, and then do whatever they're told. Jus tlike the fine German police under the Nazis.

Oh, by the way, have you heard that NY23 had more votes counted than cast:

But of course, "Law Enforcement" won't do anything about that, either.
