OPINION (CALIFORNIA GLOBE) – There are seven lies making their way through the California legislature right now that may even be less true – if that is possible – than first surmised.
Terrified voters will amend the infamous Proposition 47 – which obliterated the very concept of crime – Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sacramento Democrats decided they would push a package of “criminal reform” bills to head off passage by voters of the “Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act’ that would greatly and thankfully amend prop 47.
Sensing that passing the “anti-crime” bills may not be enough, Democrats have been working assiduously (they’ve succeeded so far on Senate side) to insert language into each of the seven bills that would cause them to self-immolate if – and if the polls are correct – when the amendment proposition passes.
These amendments were dubbed “poison pills” not only by Republicans and victim’s advocates and proposition backers but also by some Democrats. Tuesday, one Democrat pulled his bill to keep it from being “poisoned” while another took her name off her bill.
And it should be noted that the bills proposed do not at all go far enough – or sometimes even in the same direction – as the amendment proposition.
But Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas is still incensed that the amendments are being depicted negatively, if truthfully.
“There are no poison pills,” Rivas intentionally lied recently.
The funny thing, he may have unintentionally told the truth as the poison pills could more accurately be described as a suicide pact that Democrats are trying to confuse California voters into signing.
Here’s the scenario Democrats are hoping – and willing to play a very unethical, very unpopular, even with a usually compliant media, game of hardball – for.
