re: #534 Obdicut
Oh give me a fucking break. “leftist judges” are not the problem. The law was passed at the behest, mainly, of the prison union, so they could make more fucking money.
It was sold as being because of ‘leftist judges’. It overtaxes our prisons, and means any criminal facing their third strike might as well carry a fucking gun with them on their next robbery since they’re not getting out of jail anyway.
It is a godawful system that is costing us billions and has nothing good to show for it.
Then I will ask you: What sort of sentencing regime would you favor? Please provide a model of one that would keep the serious criminals locked up to ensure they do not reoffend.
