SACRAMENTO, Calif.—California Attorney General Jerry Brown told the editorial board of The Sacramento Bee that he is not morally opposed to the death penalty, even though he said the opposite in 1992.

The Democratic gubernatorial candidate made the comment Friday. Brown says he would "prefer a society that didn't have to use the death penalty" but also has said consistently that he will enforce the law.

He was a vocal opponent of capital punishment as governor from 1975 to 1983, once suggesting that banning it would elevate society to a "higher state of consciousness."

Brown also said during a 1992 Democratic presidential primary debate that he is "morally opposed to the death penalty."

Brown spokesman Sterling Clifford says the issue is irrelevant in the race against Republican Meg Whitman.

Moonbeam was against it, before he was for it.

I don't like the idea of the government killing anyone either. Why? Because government bureaucrats get too many things wrong. We can't undo death when they screw up.

Jerry Brown is kind of a nut, and a big leftist, but he did propose to eliminate all federal taxes in favor of flat rate taxes when he was running for President against Clinton in 1992. His chief economic advisor was Author Laffer, yes the Laffer curve guy who advised Reagan.

Yes, he's "out there' but he is also not afraid to challenge Democrat Party Orthodoxy. I like him because of that.
