Nice wording - "Brown and the Democrats". You want everyone to know that such liberty - the right to chose one's own fate - is anathema to Republicans, the party that never stops bleating about how much it supposedly cherishes freedom.
All I can say is... spot on!

Let's see... because capital punishment in California is currently under a moratorium imposed by a federal judge? Do you not understand that the state can thus not carry out executions until that moratorium is lifted? Do you have any idea at all what you're talking about?
Oh, and as for that federal judge? He is one Cormac Carney, who was both appointed to the District Court by Republican President George W. Bush and confirmed by the Republican-controlled United States Senate in 2003.
So, let's sum up:
You're complaining about an expansion of liberty, all the while demanding to know why California Democrats don't execute people in direct violation of a lawful court order issued by a Republican appointee. Are you about done, or would you like to dig that hole a little deeper?
These people are not killing themselves. They already have their death sentence. They are just choosing to go on their own terms without needlessly suffering. My grandmother suffered a long cruel agonizing death when she was in hospice as her lungs and other organs were overcome by metastasized Ovarian Cancer. I find staking out a position that would deprive people of the option to avoid unnecessary suffering by speeding up the process of death (which to me is much different to suicide) to be quite ill considered not to mention cruel.
The premise of the OP is silly. This is about personal freedom and liberty - the decision to make your own decisions about your health and your life.
I didn't think Brown was going to sign it, given that he was upset at the Legislature for slipping in the bill in the special session, and his personal religious views, but to his credit, he felt he shouldn't impose his personal views on others in this matter. Note that there was a also very broad popular support for this as well.
Yes, something that Republicans are perpetually against....unless a gun is involved.
Not sure I follow you. Are you saying that Republicans are against freedom and personal liberty?
