    As much as I hate Newsome, I’ll give him props on this one. I’m a native Californian and a lifelong Democrat if that matters. I still would hate to see him run for president.

    He’s trying to. Supposedly it has to pass through the state’s supreme court.

      California gives its state supreme court power to supervise a governor’s pardons?

        If I recall it something like this, if a convict has two or more felony convictions the governor can’t pardon them without a majority I think of the Supreme Court signing off on it.

        That would break the whole principle of pardons.

    He may be unprincipled in his pursuit of power, but at least he does make some good choices.
