From the Daily beast: Illegal immigrants in California will be eligible for financial aid now that Gov. Jerry Brown signed the Dream Act. But at the same time, Brown vetoed a controversial bill that would have let public universities consider an applicant's race and sex in admission decisions. "I wholeheartedly agree with the goal of this legislation," Brown said in his veto message, but he thought that the courts, not the legislature, should decide on the affirmative action law. Brown is sifting through a flurry of legislation that passed the legislature at the end of the session; he must sign or veto 142 more bills before midnight on Sunday.

  1. Let me see if I have this correct.

    1. Discrimination by race or sex is a bad thing, but laws that specifically allow discrimination by race or sex are affirmative action.
    2. The Gov. of California wants the courts to establish law instead of the legislature.
    3. A state that is flirting with bankruptcy just approved entitlements for another group.

    I invoke the serenity prayer!
