Big Blue Drip: California Republicans are turning out early and big

Posted by Leslie Eastman on November 02, 2018 21 Comments

Midnight blue California is often cited as an indicator of national trends. If this is still the case, then the big blue wave predicted by some pollsters and progressive pundits will become a big blue drip. Early voting in the Golden State is trending bright red.

Election Day is around the corner and Californians have been voting for three weeks. Given the data on who has voted so far, it does not point to a big surge for Democrats.

Baby Trump blimp sails over Los Angeles

Posted by Leslie Eastman on October 21, 2018 12 Comments

This July, the "Baby Trump" blimp flew in London, much to the amusement of European progressives. Showing that Los Angeles officials are óevery bit as out-of-touch with average Americans as their Euro-counterparts, the balloon just made its debut on the Left Coast by flying over the Los Angeles Convention Center.

California DMV: 1,500 People Wrongly Registered to Vote, Including Non-Citizens

Posted by Leslie Eastman on October 10, 2018 35 Comments

The California Motor Voter program was promoted as a way to make registering to vote at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) more convenient. Eligible applicants would completing a driver license, identification (ID) card or change of address transaction with the DMV, and then would be automatically registered to vote by the California Secretary of State (unless they choose to opt out), The new rule is as successful as I anticipated. The only law that really works in California is the one involving unintended consequences.

Law of Self Defense: A Merely Speculative Fear is Inadequate to Justify Use-of-Force

Posted by Andrew Branca on October 04, 2018 14 Comments

This week’s case comes out of California’s Court of Appeal, in a decision filed just last Monday (People v. Gregory). It involves two particularly interesting facets of self-defense law: a speculative threat, and provocation with intent. This week we’ll address the speculative threat, and we’ll address provocation with intent next week.

This past June, my colleague Mary Chastain noted that the internet was still working after the Trump administration ended Obama-era "net neutrality" rules with the FCC’s Restoring Internet Freedom Order. However, tinkering with working systems until they no longer function is a feature of the California state legislature, so it created its own "net neutrality" rules that were recently signed into law. This action triggered the Trump administration to file a lawsuit to stop the implementation.

Posted by Leslie Eastman on September 23, 2018 22 Comments

Legal Insurrection readers may recall my recent post on California's November ballot and the poll that indicated Senator Dianne Feinstein has only an 8-point advantage over progressive challenger, state senator Kevin de León. For the incumbent, this should be a troubling number, particularly when her challenger is leading among Republican voters.
