Jamie Court, Reese Erlich, and Crime and Punishment
November 9, 2010
"Democrats are more concerned with raising money than raising hell," says Jamie Court, author of The Progressive's Guide to Raising Hell. Meanwhile, he argues, ballot measures in California were victories for populism, for campaigns against big oil and big corporate money (and self-financed billionaire candidates). With Republicans back in control of the house, Court says, Democrats are going to have to learn something from California.
The F Word: Let the Punishment Fit the Crime
November 9, 2010
Let the punishment fit the crime, they say. Well, we now know the punishment for the BART officer who shot Oscar Grant: 2 years and time served. He could actually be out of prison in seven months—for killing a man.

Instead, his short sentence has been decried as less than Michael Vick was given for killing dogs.

Sean Bell was shot by New York City police officers four years ago on the night before his wedding day. This summer, the city settled the case against it, agreeing to pay $7 million to Bell's family and friends, including his two children.

Can Marijuana Save the Economy?
February 9, 2010
An initiative in California for marijuana legalization is slowly moving toward an appearance on the November ballot, and several other states have taken steps to legalize the drug for medical purposes, or to decriminalize possession, reducing it to a misdemeanor charge.
