Laws only exist to the extent that they are enforced.
Even by the standards of a pro-crime party and a pro-crime state, the refusal of California Assembly Democrats to crack down on sex trafficking created a nationwide scandal forcing Gov. Newsom to take the unusual step of intervening by phoning the Republican sponsor of the bill to express his support and to urge his fellow Democrats to stop protecting sex traffickers.
A day after rejecting a bill that would have classified child sex trafficking as a serious felony under California law, the Assembly Public Safety Committee is facing intense scrutiny from Democratic state leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, who are vowing to address the issue.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle were shocked Tuesday when the bill didn’t have enough votes to clear the Assembly Public Safety Committee, with all six of that committee’s Democrats abstaining from the vote.
The governor noted last year’s state budget earmarked $25 million for services for children who had been victims of sex trafficking. “I want to understand exactly what happened yesterday,” Newsom said. “I take it very seriously.”
The vote finally happened, but with some notable exceptions.
Days after facing political blowback for blocking a bill that would have classified child sex trafficking as a serious felony in California, the state’s Assembly Public Safety Committee was forced on Thursday to hold a special hearing to vote on the bill again and approve it.
The measure passed 6-0, with two Democrats, Assemblymembers Mia Bonta and Isaac Bryan, not voting.
Mia Bonta is the wife of Attorney General Rob Bonta who succeeded him. Because California is a “democracy”. The bill was passed because Gov. Newsom didn’t want it to look like he was presiding over a pro-crime hell (which he is), but laws only exist to the extent that they are enforced. Considering Mia Bonta’s resistance to putting away sex traffickers, can her husband be counted on to do his duty?
On a tangent, doing some research I found ranked choice voting which started in Oakland is starting to spread statewide. Makes elections somewhat random, like playing Russian Roulette.
She represents Oakland which got me wondering if she was elected by ranked choice. But so far ranked choice is only used in local elections, though using ranked choice in elections for state offices is coming soon.
I hope Mia Bonta and her effeminate husband get gang raped by dirty cartel wet backs straight from the broccoli fields and dishwasher jobs that used to be held by high school teenagers. Anally.
I was just thinking yesterday that the jobs that used to go to high school teenagers are now going to the immigrants. Those jobs used to give teenagers experience and get them started on the work ladder.
Yeah, I enjoyed working as a teenager. It made me feel like a man and I was able to afford quarter ounces of weed to twice a week to smoke out my friends.
I didn’t have very high priorities as a teenager.
Looks like the traffickers paid off the right politicians in california. Governor mousse is shocked, shocked he tells ya. Free beer…tomorrow, always tomorrow.
