CSPAN2 Key Capitol Hill Hearings January 6, 2015

And here too i will refer to my fathers 1959 address. He worried then about californias dangerously overcrowded prisons. A he talked about identifying those prisoners who should never be released to prey again on an innocent public, but he also said, we should also determine whether some prisoners are now kept confined after punishment has served its purpose. We face these same questions today what purposes should punishment serve and for how long should a person be confined to jail or prison, for a few days a few years or for life . In response to a large increase in crimes beginning in the 1970s, the legislature and the people, through ballot initiatives, dramatically lengthened sentences and added a host of new crimes and penalty enhancements. Today, californias legal codes contain more than 5,000 separate criminal provisions and over 400 penalty enhancements, an arcane and complex mix that only the most exquisitely trained specialist can fathom. And funding has grown proportionatel ....

CSPAN3 Politics Public Policy Today January 14, 2015

They cost us republicans three senate seats. We were poised to win nevada delaware and colorado where the incumbents delaware wasnt an incumbent, but mike cassell was running and hes tremendously popular, the tea party came in, the people did not participate in the primaries to the degree they should have, and the tea party nominated unelectable nominees in all three states and handed the democrats three seats they would not have otherwise had. In 2012 they handed the democrats three more with scary candidates. In 2010 it was the candidate who ran her Campaign First televised ad saying, i am not a witch. Thats a really, really jaunty catchy kind of political platform to run on. And then the other guy in 2012 was talking about legitimate rape, another political position i would recommend any of you thinking of being candidates you should avoid being in favor of that kind of thing. Add it all up if we had those we republicans this t ....

CSPAN Key Capitol Hill Hearings January 6, 2015

And so one of the things at the very basic level we need to do is just get more people participating. Its hard to run a good democracy with less than one in five people participating. And what that tends to do is bring out the people who are the most focused and organized and generally the most ideological. And its going to take a while to shift that around. The political scientists will tell you thing that is dont make sense to me but theyre pretty consistent on it that moving to more early voting doesnt actually show an increase in turnout. Which again i thought it would. But do you know why we have voting on tuesdays . Because about 200 years ago most people liked to go to church and a lot lived too far from county seat to get there too far on monday. So you go to church on sunday, ride your horse and vote on tuesday. Chris rock said do you know why . Because they dont want us to vote. There is a strong sentiment that hard working folks who dont have an ability to control their own ....
