California Democrats revive child sex trafficking bill after GOP outcry, Newsom intervention
The real story here is that Democrats sincerely wanted to kill this legislation. But Newsom realized that would hamper his run for the White House so he had to twist some arms. These people really are sick.
[Sacramento Bee] California lawmakers revived a bill to enact harsher punishments for child sex traffickers after Democrats blocked it earlier in the week, prompting involvement from Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leadership.

Members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee voted to advance Senate Bill 14 from Sen. Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, during an emergency meeting Democratic leaders called during a dramatic floor session Thursday. SB 14 now goes to the Assembly Appropriations Committee, its last stop before the full body will consider the measure.

The bill would classify child sex trafficking as a serious felony, which would make it a strike under California’s "three strikes" law. The controversial sentencing system adds significant prison time for those repeatedly convicted of crimes listed as serious felonies.

#1 Newsom campaign preps continue.California logic now allows you to kill the kids and sell their parts, but it’s a serious felony if you traffic them.

Top California Dem defends controversial no vote on bill to increase penalties for sexual assault

"This is another attempt to revive a version of the three-strikes mentality of mass incarceration, which was a failed policy. We need to look at ways to reform our criminal justice system while advocating for diversion and rehabilitative programs that end crime cycles of all categories."

#4 GOPe won't do, but Trump will - label loudly that the neo-commies are the anti-child party. They've given him so much ammunition; killers, mutilators, exploiters. Show no mercy, cause they have shown you none.

#5 /\ USCIT children are evil. Uneducated, Federally dependent border crossing children (future house maids, sex trade, and grounds keepers) sent here by the cartels are good-to-go.

#6 I have to wonder if the customers in this business are all just low life perverts or if wealthy and powerful members of society are involved. I have to wonder if the resistance to this legislation comes from 1) a profit motive and/or 2) a desire by wealthy and powerful individuals to enslave these children so they can live out their sick fantasies.

It's kinda the same with fentanyl. Logic would dictate the government do everything possible to stem the flow of this poison into our country and yet the government does nothing. I strongly suspect either profit or else government officials have succumbed to plata o plomo.

But then, if the cartels are engaged in sex trafficking, plata o plomo could come into play in this case as well.

At any rate, the resistance to measures like SB 14 seems astoundingly counter-intuitive unless there is some kind of hidden agenda...something the Democrat legislators are not telling us.
