The Trump DOJ’s announcement of a lawsuit against the State of California over sanctuary cities had Rep. Nancy Pelosi flipping out, and Gov. Jerry Brown joined in sounding the alarm:
“This lawsuit is going to last a lot longer than the Trump administration."

Gov. Jerry Brown to AG Sessions: "The federal government ought to do its job and not blame California.”

Gov Brown: “This is basically going to war with California…. the engine of the economy.”

Brown, defending state politicians against accusations of ignoring federal laws, nevertheless said their effort to fight back against the DOJ lawsuit would “stick to the law”:
“This attorney general is maybe trying to keep his job because the president isn’t too happy with him. We here are going to stick to the facts and stick to the law. We will meet this litigation fully.” https://t.co/Daj0BUl60o

California will “stick to the law” in fighting a lawsuit accusing state officials of ignoring federal laws? That might be the most Jerry Brown thing ever!
.@JerryBrownGov: We are a State of laws. We want to observe the law. The Attorney General has basically thrown the gauntlet down and done it in a highly politicized way… This is a very aggressive act on the part of the Trump administration. @CBSSacramento @GoodDaySac

Brown’s “state of laws” has spoken. “Nation of laws” will weigh in soon enough.
Hahaha Jerry Brown saying California will stick to the law. What a joke. He should learn California is a state & not It's own Country #Outnumbered
