Is that even legal?

This is what we call "Putting a bullet in the head of the voter's will".

Lockyer wants to kill the proposition, without opposing it. He is giving the court a chance to kill it, then he will say he was trying to protect it.

Just watch.

More evidence Bill Lockyer's political career should be ended ASAP.

I hope the Dems run him for Governor. He would make John Kerry look like a masterful candidate.

I'm not for sex offenders, but making a law that impacts punishment on those who were never given that as punishment is wrong.

I believe that is called an "ex post facto" law and is generally illegal.

Bill Lockyer, I think really doesn't care as long as his name "Bill Lockyer" is in the press.

*shrug* Jessica's law seemed kind of stupid anyway. If CA law enforcement can't get half these pedophiles to register as sex offenders already, I fail to see why the pedophiles would keep a GPS tracker on their leg just because we tell them they should.

I'd support a CA proposition that lengthened the sentences for sex offenders, that would actually do some good.

Sex offenders need to be locked up, permanently. If they got to be monitored when they're released that means they're still a danger to society.

Also sex offender laws need to be dramatically clarified. An 18 year old dating a 17 year old girl shouldn't be labeled a sex offender.
