Senate Democrats Have No Clothes (Or Ethics), With ALRB Confirmation

Senate Democrats have no clothes, nor the moral principles that govern a person's behavior

Democrats in the State Senate Thursday confirmed former Sen. Isadore Hall (D-Compton) to the Agricultural Labor Relations Board on a party line vote.

You’ll recall Hall’s recent “obscenity-laced tirade” and threats to use his position to ‘get’ several farmers who opposed his confirmation:

[snip[My sources said Hall dropped the mother*****r F-bomb numerous times in a hair-raising, threatening tone to the farmers.Mp< Despite this egregious, unprofessional and likely unlawful behavior, Democrats made it clear during Senate debate they saw nothing wrong with Hall’s behavior and in fact, sang Hall’s praises during floor debate. And that’s the problem with these Democrats; they don’t see that Sen. Isadore Hall threatening private citizens is a violation of the Senate Standards of Conduct, and likely against the law. California Penal Code Section 422—California’s law on criminal threats, makes it clear that it is prosecutable if you intended that your statement be understood as a threat, the threat was so clear, immediate, unconditional, and specific that it communicated to the person being threatened a serious intention and the immediate prospect that the threat would be carried out; the threat actually caused the person to be in sustained fear for his/her own safety or for the safety of his/her immediate family; the threatened person’s fear was reasonable under the circumstances.

A letter to Sen. President pro Tem Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles) from Sen. Andy Vidak (R-Hanford) spelled out the appalling episode, and demanded an investigation. But alas, Vidak said Thursday, “the pro Tem has done zero, zilch, nada.

This lack of decorum shows huge radicalization in values.......
