I would be much happier if Gov Brown went surfing down on the Southern Border. He is so worried about appointing Latino judges, traveling the world regarding climate change and World Trade as Mexico dumps its shit in the Pacific Ocean. What a hypocrite Brown and our California legislators are, not one word about this because it is Mexico!


Baltidano origin Granda Province Spain.

Marino origin Italy ..which refers to a mariner.

Google is a fantastic tool.

If you think you know something about someone simply because of their name it shows you view the world through a race based lens.


Which is unfortunate.

My concern… Are they qualified?

Your concern. Are they Mexican?


Why are these not elected positions? Of all the quality-control functions in the law enforcement/judicial system, shouldn’t the superior court members be decided by majority vote of the citizens of the county?


Attaboy load all appointments wit Latinos I’m quite sure there other races out there just as qualified .How about an American Indian?
