    Ordered to reduce the population of California’s overcrowded prisons, lawyers from then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office made the case that some non-violent offenders needed to stay incarcerated or else the prison system would lose a source of cheap labor.

    In 2011, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Plata that California’s prisons were so overcrowded that they violated the Constitution’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. Three years later, in early 2014, the state was ordered to allow non-violent, second time offenders who have served half of their sentence to be eligible for parole.

    By September 2014, plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit were back in court, accusing California of slow-walking the process, which lawyers for Harris’ office denied.

    Hmm. Sounds a bit like slavery. Great pick Joe! She actually put them all back in chains.

    Well Bernie says she will stand up for working people. I guess she can't put chains on them sitting down.

    She is a truly vile horrible woman who laughed about jailing Black men for using the same drugs she did. She got ahead the old fashion way, by crawling underneath her married boss.

    Democrat women to media: Don’t even think about sexist or racist coverage of Biden’s running mate.
    Sunday’s article at the Daily Beast was a tiny bit of battlefield preparation:

    She's trying to be a slave owner, it runs in her family.

    Someone needs to tell Biden she wants to put y'all back in chains.
