Arnold Schwarzenegger - Cameras on Him in State Bar Crisis

In the Terminator 2 movie, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger played a cyborg sent to save the people of Earth. But that was only Hollywood with fake blood and guns. As Governor, Schwarzenegger mocked the special-interest legislators who run Sacramento - people he calls "girlie-men." Now the Governor is about to play his most memorable role ever. Will the world remember him as a strong leader or a political puppet to the girlie-men he claimed to be repulsed by?
Since the Governor's veto of Senate Bill 641, the State Bar's 2010 funding bill, members, the media and public have come forth with evidence - lots of evidence - that the corruption in the State Bar of California is much worse than Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Brown imagined or were advised of. Falsely accused Californians are imprisoned. California whistleblower lawyers are disbarred. Government corruption which threatens the lives, health and careers of Californians is covered up by faceless bureaucrats, and judges who have become blinded by their own self-importance.
After vowing to meet the State Bar's management problems "head-on" then claiming it had been done, State Bar President Howard Miller informed the 220,000 members he serves that Senate Bill 641 would be "re-introduced" [California Bar Journal, January, 2010].
Instead, Miller and the Bar's legislative unit, which is headed up by Lobbyist Anthony C. Williams and Legislative Counsel Saul Bercovitch, secretly went to work pulling off a deceptive scheme whereby the language of Senate Bill 55 was gutted and secretly passed by the Legislature under the guise of being an "urgency measure." The voices of State Bar members asking for the right to be heard since Schwarzenegger's famous caveat that the State Bar must be beyond reproach were muzzled.
This was all done with recently filed State Bar complaints pending against Williams and Bercovitch for ethical violations related to their attempts to pass a new funding bill, cries of foul by State Bar members and Miller's refusal to meet and address the crisis in a meaningful way as the lawyer and gentleman he purports to be.
Some might call this politics as usual. I call it fraud, suppression of evidence, obstruction of justice and prima facie evidence of predicate acts of federal racketeering which can only be remedied through member- initiated class action litigation.
But getting back to the issue of the day. A piece of unconstitutional and oppressive
