By her own account, she could hit you with a card from across the room. But as \u003ca href=\"http://www.courts.ca.gov/13330.htm#ad-image-0\">Chief Justice\u003c/a> of the California Supreme Court, Cantil-Sakauye has been dealt a pretty weak hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her interview with me this week, the Chief said severe state budget cuts had created a “two-tier system of justice” in California, where shuttered courthouses and shorter courtroom hours are “basically denying justice across the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who suffer most, she said, are “low-income, middle-income businesses” trying to resolve disputes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The truth is, those who can will use other, private alternatives” to settle their differences, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But those of us who need to go to the court, who don’t have those resources, find ourselves frankly getting a second system of justice.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/event.asp?i=1319\">talk \u003c/a>at the Public Policy Institute earlier this year, Cantil-Sakauye complained that state budget cuts were threatening a “dismemberment of the judicial branch.” Some of those cuts have been restored in the current year budget, but the reductions are still widely felt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her predecessor, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_M._George\">Ronald George,\u003c/a> was widely praised for many things, including his acumen cultivating relationships in Sacramento, where decisions on court funding get made. George, who was appointed and elevated to Chief Justice by then-Gov. Pete Wilson, was known for a soothing, nonconfrontational style that may have played well at the state capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges generally avoid discussing politics. Like journalists, they get paid to evaluate the facts of each case and set aside their personal views. So it’s no surprise that when I asked Cantil-Sakauye this week for her views about the Republican Party, her public information officers cried foul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You shouldn’t have asked her about that,” a testy Peter Allen said to me after the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye was first named to the Sacramento Municipal Court in 1990 by her boss, then-Gov. George Deukmejian. She was elevated on the bench by Republican Governors Pete Wilson and then Arnold Schwarzenegger, who named her Chief Justice in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> My ideals of law and order resonated with George Deukmejian’s, and I’ve remained a Republican ever since. — From a 2011 interview \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I spoke to her back in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/03/29/california-supreme-court-justice-tani-cantil-sakauye-on-proposition-8/\">2011,\u003c/a> shortly after she became Chief, she said she joined the Republican Party when she was “barely 18” to get an internship with State Sen. Jim Nielsen, whom she described as “a law and order man.” She actually never took that internship, but later went to work for Gov. Deukmejian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My ideals of law and order resonated with George Deukmejian’s, and I’ve remained a Republican ever since,” she told me back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s judicial system is relatively free of unseemly politics. Unlike some states, where anyone can run for the supreme court and raise unlimited campaign contributions to win, California Supreme Court justices are appointed by the governor, confirmed by a judicial panel, and then approved again every 12 years by the voters. This process allows them to stay relatively removed from the political fray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps with that in mind, several prominent attorneys and civic leaders announced this week the formation of a new nonprofit foundation to advocate for California courts. The \u003ca href=\"http://foundationfordemocracyandjustice.com/members-of-the-board-of-directors/\">Foundation for Democracy and Justice\u003c/a> counts among its founders former UC President Mark Yudof and Allan Zaremberg, president of the California Chamber of Commerce, both of whom know their way around the state capitol quite well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The video above is from the premiere episode of \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/newsroom/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>KQED NEWSROOM\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online, featuring \u003cstrong>Thuy Vu\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Scott Shafer\u003c/strong>.

George, who was appointed and elevated to Chief Justice by then-Gov. Pete Wilson, was known for a soothing, nonconfrontational style that may have played well at the state capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges generally avoid discussing politics. Like journalists, they get paid to evaluate the facts of each case and set aside their personal views. So it’s no surprise that when I asked Cantil-Sakauye this week for her views about the Republican Party, her public information officers cried foul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You shouldn’t have asked her about that,” a testy Peter Allen said to me after the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye was first named to the Sacramento Municipal Court in 1990 by her boss, then-Gov. George Deukmejian. She was elevated on the bench by Republican Governors Pete Wilson and then Arnold Schwarzenegger, who named her Chief Justice in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> My ideals of law and order resonated with George Deukmejian’s, and I’ve remained a Republican ever since. — From a 2011 interview \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I spoke to her back in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/03/29/california-supreme-court-justice-tani-cantil-sakauye-on-proposition-8/\">2011,\u003c/a> shortly after she became Chief, she said she joined the Republican Party when she was “barely 18” to get an internship with State Sen. Jim Nielsen, whom she described as “a law and order man.” She actually never took that internship, but later went to work for Gov. Deukmejian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My ideals of law and order resonated with George Deukmejian’s, and I’ve remained a Republican ever since,” she told me back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s judicial system is relatively free of unseemly politics. Unlike some states, where anyone can run for the supreme court and raise unlimited campaign contributions to win, California Supreme Court justices are appointed by the governor, confirmed by a judicial panel, and then approved again every 12 years by the voters. This process allows them to stay relatively removed from the political fray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps with that in mind, several prominent attorneys and civic leaders announced this week the formation of a new nonprofit foundation to advocate for California courts. The \u003ca href=\"http://foundationfordemocracyandjustice.com/members-of-the-board-of-directors/\">Foundation for Democracy and Justice\u003c/a> counts among its founders former UC President Mark Yudof and Allan Zaremberg, president of the California Chamber of Commerce, both of whom know their way around the state capitol quite well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The video above is from the premiere episode of \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/newsroom/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>KQED NEWSROOM\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online, featuring \u003cstrong>Thuy Vu\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Scott Shafer\u003c/strong>.

The city's lawyers say that ruling creates an opening for a resolution of the longstanding dispute over the A's relocation because baseball officials, including Commissioner Bud Selig, will try to avoid testifying about why the A's move has been blocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's and San Jose have been working for more than four years to make the move happen, with the city and team signing a deal that would let the A's buy downtown parcels where the team would build a 32,000-seat stadium. But major league owners have never acted on the request. That's because the San Francisco Giants have refused to give up their exclusive territorial rights to the South Bay. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"They're going to now have to give depositions as to why they wouldn't allow Oakland to go down there.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Last June, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/06/18/san-jose-city-council-votes-to-sue-mlb-over-as-move/\" target=\"_blank\">the city sued\u003c/a>, saying baseball's failure to act on the request and its system of exclusive territories amounted to monopolistic behavior barred by federal anti-trust laws.

That \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/tortious_interference\" target=\"_blank\">tortious interference\u003c/a> had cost the city money, the San Jose suit alleged, and damaged its future economic prospects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/175443473/Ruling-in-San-Jose-v-Major-League-Baseball-et-al\" target=\"_blank\">26-page ruling\u003c/a> (embedded below), Whyte stuck closely to 60 years of federal case law in dismissing San Jose's antitrust claims. He noted that many courts have questioned a 1922 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that exempted baseball from the nation's antitrust statutes. Whyte said he agreed with earlier jurists that the exemption is “unrealistic, inconsistent, or illogical.\" But like them, he concluded it's up to Congress, not the courts, to remove the exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the contract-interference claim, Whyte found that the city had presented a substantial enough claim that that part of the case can proceed.

He thinks that under pressure to reveal what goes on behind MLB's closed doors, something will give. \"I think the case, at this point, will get resolved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Major League Baseball released a statement suggesting it believes the case will get resolved, too -- in its favor, in court:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Major League Baseball is pleased that the Court dismissed the heart of San Jose's action and confirmed that MLB has the legal right to make decisions about the relocation of its member Clubs. The Court dismissed all of San Jose's state and federal law claims challenging that right.

The city's lawyers say that ruling creates an opening for a resolution of the longstanding dispute over the A's relocation because baseball officials, including Commissioner Bud Selig, will try to avoid testifying about why the A's move has been blocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's and San Jose have been working for more than four years to make the move happen, with the city and team signing a deal that would let the A's buy downtown parcels where the team would build a 32,000-seat stadium. But major league owners have never acted on the request. That's because the San Francisco Giants have refused to give up their exclusive territorial rights to the South Bay. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"They're going to now have to give depositions as to why they wouldn't allow Oakland to go down there.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Last June, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/06/18/san-jose-city-council-votes-to-sue-mlb-over-as-move/\" target=\"_blank\">the city sued\u003c/a>, saying baseball's failure to act on the request and its system of exclusive territories amounted to monopolistic behavior barred by federal anti-trust laws. The suit also alleged baseball had illegally interfered with San Jose's contract with the A's. That \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/tortious_interference\" target=\"_blank\">tortious interference\u003c/a> had cost the city money, the San Jose suit alleged, and damaged its future economic prospects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/175443473/Ruling-in-San-Jose-v-Major-League-Baseball-et-al\" target=\"_blank\">26-page ruling\u003c/a> (embedded below), Whyte stuck closely to 60 years of federal case law in dismissing San Jose's antitrust claims. He noted that many courts have questioned a 1922 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that exempted baseball from the nation's antitrust statutes. Whyte said he agreed with earlier jurists that the exemption is “unrealistic, inconsistent, or illogical.\" But like them, he concluded it's up to Congress, not the courts, to remove the exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Oregon residents B.J. and Susan Campbell saw a black Infiniti driven by a woman heading west on Pennsylvania, into a security checkpoint. The driver went about 20 yards, B.J. Campbell said, before rapidly turning the car around at the concrete security barriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Secret Service guy was just having a cow,” B.J.

Then the agent moved the gate in front of her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point “she just gunned it,” B.J. Campbell said. “She ran the barricade down and the guy; knocked him up onto her hood. He rolled off into the street, and she tore off down Pennsylvania Avenue.” The whole encounter lasted about 20 seconds, he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A police officer was injured when his car crashed during the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The New York Times \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/04/us/gunfire-reported-outside-the-capitol.html?hp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gives this account\u003c/a> from U.S. Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Chief Dine said that the woman’s vehicle, a black Infiniti, also struck a police car on Capitol Hill before it crashed into a barricade.

(David McNew/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>(BCN) A new voter initiative to legalize marijuana in California was cleared for signature-gathering today by Secretary of State Debra Bowen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the measure, who call it the California Cannabis Hemp Initiative 2014, now have 150 days, or until Feb. 24, to collect 504,760 signatures to place it on the November 2014 ballot, Bowen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative would decriminalize the possession, use, cultivation and sale of marijuana and hemp, the plant from which marijuana is made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would instruct the Legislature to pass laws licensing and taxing commercial sales of marijuana and setting a standard for determining when a driver is impaired and should be barred from driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative's proponents are Berton Duzy, 58, a Simi Valley contractor, and Michael Jolson, 45, a medical marijuana activist in Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->Duzy said the effort has been led by a core group of 10 to 15 volunteers, backed by a statewide network that now numbers 500 volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another marijuana legalization initiative was rejected by 53.5 percent of state voters in 2010. Several similar measures, including one sponsored by Duzy and Jolson, were proposed in 2012, but none qualified for the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the two men said they are optimistic this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm optimistic because of the enthusiasm we're getting from people who want this legalized,\" Duzy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We honestly feel this plant can help transform and sustain humankind,\" said Jolson, who said he wants to see industrial hemp legalized as a biomass fuel as well as marijuana decriminalized for personal and medical use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duzy said that while most pro-marijuana organizations in California decided to wait until the 2016 ballot, his group decided to go ahead with aiming for 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Put it to the people and let the people decide,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two proponents said they hope to use a combination of as many as 3,000 volunteers and, if they can obtain donor funding, professional signature-gatherers to collect the needed signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, voters in Colorado and Washington state approved initiatives legalizing recreational use of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal laws criminalizing marijuana make no exception for such laws, or for the medical marijuana laws now in effect in about 20 states, including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But last month, the U.S. Justice Department announced a policy change, saying it will ease off enforcing federal laws in states that allow the use of small amounts of marijuana, as long as those states have \"strict regulatory schemes\" of their own in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, said Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole, Justice Department prosecutions will focus on eight law enforcement priorities in states where marijuana is legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those priorities include keeping marijuana out of children's hands; preventing marijuana operations from being used as a cover for sales of illegal drugs; keeping revenue from going to criminal enterprises; preventing violence and gun use in marijuana growing and sales; and protecting public health, Cole said in a memo to federal prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duzy and Jolson said their efforts to legalize marijuana in California go back to the 1990s, predating the Colorado and Washington votes and Justice Department policy change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jolson said the recent events show \"a momentum going across America\" that he hopes will help propel the California initiative to victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the four regional U.S. attorneys, including Melinda Haag of San Francisco, announced a law enforcement effort in 2011 to crack down on medical marijuana dispensaries they considered to be large-scale commercial enterprises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One such case is Haag's effort to shut down the Harborside Health Center in Oakland, the state's largest dispensary, through a civil lawsuit to forfeit the landlord's property. The case is on hold while a federal appeals court considers the city of Oakland's bid to fight the forfeiture through its own lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Cole issued his memo on Aug. 29, Haag said through a spokeswoman that the cases filed in Northern California thus far by lawyers in her office appear to meet the guidelines and that \"we do not expect a significant change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See KQED's coverage of cannabis and the legalization of marijuana \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/bayarea/republicofcannabis/pot101.jsp\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Several similar measures, including one sponsored by Duzy and Jolson, were proposed in 2012, but none qualified for the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the two men said they are optimistic this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm optimistic because of the enthusiasm we're getting from people who want this legalized,\" Duzy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We honestly feel this plant can help transform and sustain humankind,\" said Jolson, who said he wants to see industrial hemp legalized as a biomass fuel as well as marijuana decriminalized for personal and medical use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duzy said that while most pro-marijuana organizations in California decided to wait until the 2016 ballot, his group decided to go ahead with aiming for 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Put it to the people and let the people decide,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two proponents said they hope to use a combination of as many as 3,000 volunteers and, if they can obtain donor funding, professional signature-gatherers to collect the needed signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, voters in Colorado and Washington state approved initiatives legalizing recreational use of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal laws criminalizing marijuana make no exception for such laws, or for the medical marijuana laws now in effect in about 20 states, including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But last month, the U.S. Justice Department announced a policy change, saying it will ease off enforcing federal laws in states that allow the use of small amounts of marijuana, as long as those states have \"strict regulatory schemes\" of their own in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, said Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole, Justice Department prosecutions will focus on eight law enforcement priorities in states where marijuana is legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those priorities include keeping marijuana out of children's hands; preventing marijuana operations from being used as a cover for sales of illegal drugs; keeping revenue from going to criminal enterprises; preventing violence and gun use in marijuana growing and sales; and protecting public health, Cole said in a memo to federal prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duzy and Jolson said their efforts to legalize marijuana in California go back to the 1990s, predating the Colorado and Washington votes and Justice Department policy change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jolson said the recent events show \"a momentum going across America\" that he hopes will help propel the California initiative to victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the four regional U.S. attorneys, including Melinda Haag of San Francisco, announced a law enforcement effort in 2011 to crack down on medical marijuana dispensaries they considered to be large-scale commercial enterprises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One such case is Haag's effort to shut down the Harborside Health Center in Oakland, the state's largest dispensary, through a civil lawsuit to forfeit the landlord's property. The case is on hold while a federal appeals court considers the city of Oakland's bid to fight the forfeiture through its own lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Cole issued his memo on Aug. 29, Haag said through a spokeswoman that the cases filed in Northern California thus far by lawyers in her office appear to meet the guidelines and that \"we do not expect a significant change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See KQED's coverage of cannabis and the legalization of marijuana \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/bayarea/republicofcannabis/pot101.jsp\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
