Those closest to the orange criminal-in-charge know him best. They know he is a liar and a cheat. Why don't others realize this. I suppose that they cannot admit being duped by a conman. SMH.

He's now resorting to trying to buy the election. Federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or for voting. (52 U.S.C. §10307(c).) Any type of incentive is considered “payment.”

People of color are far more likely than white people to be sentenced to death in California. That's why the ACLU and our partners filed a lawsuit challenging the state’s death penalty statute as racially discriminatory.

A novel challenge to California’s death penalty could resonate in other states
If California’s capital punishment law is found to violate the state constitution, it may provide a template for death penalty opponents in other states.
