Keep in mind that in California Democrats have, for years, held a supermajority in the state legislature, which is to say that the following can be changed:

1 year in county jail for the crime of molesting a minor? 2 years in state prison? 4 years? 6 years? A $5,000 fine? This from California Penal Code Section 647.6...

Does any of this sound satisfactory to you? Politicizing the crimes of molestation and incest to suggest that one side cares "more" or "less" only lays bare that neither side is doing the universally RIGHT thing to do.
