It has been observed: “How do you know when a politician is lying?” The answer is: “When he (or she) opens his (or her) mouth!”
Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
Letter to the Editor: Kopp Column Item Dishonest
To suggest that there is any similarity between Proposition 1 and the act signed by Gov. Reagan (actually in 1967, not 1970) is preposterous. Judge Kopp must know that the 1967 act, which the sponsors said would reduce the number of abortions in California, was nullified, along with all other state abortion laws, by Roe v. Wade.
Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
The California legislature adjourned Sept. 30, but the condescending SF Board of Supervisors reconvened after Labor Day, ready to repudiate good government at taxpayer expense and act imperialistically with its six-figure annual salary plus pension and medical benefits.
Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
I think it’s timely to recommend (as I traditionally have done since my first year on the Board of Supervisors in 1972), ballot measure votes and candidate elections.
Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
Following my last musing about the deplorable results of such ward elections and their rise under threat of California Voting Rights Act litigation in such small cities as Millbrae, San Bruno, South San Francisco, Foster City and Redwood City, I discovered a possible silver lining.
Letter to the Editor: District Elections Normal in CA Cities
In his latest penned annunciation, Mr. Quentin Kopp makes some allegation that district elections for San Francisco city supervisors are equivalent to “dirty” ward politics that is beneath the grandeur of the city of San Francisco. I’m paraphrasing.
Letter to the Editor: Thankful for Kopp’s Strong Voice
… we should be ever grateful that his voice is still strong. San Francisco would be infinitely poorer without him.
Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
As San Franciscans observe the 256th anniversary of the country’s declaration of our independence from British rule, we give thanks for the successful recall of Chesa Boudin from district attorney status, the defeat of a Board of Supervisors’ ballot measure to diminish our authority to remove a non-performing public official from office, the repeal of a 1932 ordinance conferring a trash collection monopoly on Recology’s predecessors – thus enabling next month a law requiring competitive, open bidding for such public contract, and ignominious defeat of a $400 million general obligation bond which, with interest over 30 years, would have cost taxpayers $1.005 billion!
Letter to the Editor: Kopp Distorts the Facts
In his most recent column, your conservative, libertarian commentator Quintin Kopp distorts the facts to suit his opinions.
Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
An anonymous wit once declared in the 1950s: “We don’t seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business.”
Letter to the Editor: Lies and Distortions
We do however know of Republicans who “harvested” votes and ballots in Florida and Texas that got prosecuted. Also of Republicans who voted more than once in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.
Letter to the Editor: Impressed by Kopp’s Ballot Recommendations
As always, I am impressed by the commentary by the Honorable Quentin L. Kopp, this time advice on ballot measures in the May issue of the Sunset Beacon, where he begins with the prose by Walt Whitman where he says “I know nothing grander than a well contested American national election”.
Letter to the Editor: Kopp Says What We Believe
We just wanted to thank you on behalf of this household – as well as our neighbors here in the Outer Sunset on The Edge of The Known World, who have come here from all over the world – for publishing what we think the esteemed Judge Kopp offers every issue of the Sunset Beacon.
Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
In 1948, “The Complete Poetry and Prose of Walt Whitman” contained his utterance: “I know nothing grander, better exercise, better digestion, more positive, proof of the past, the triumphant result of faith in humankind, than a well-contested American national election.”
Letter to the Editor: Be Careful With Your Vote
Both Kopp and the Congress should know that this is unconstitutional and the early voting has given 11 votes for by Republicans, and 11 votes against by Democrats, with the deciding vote by the vice president who is a Democratic White woman.
