You remember the story from this morning?

Now, the California Republican Party is weighing into the issue.

From the press release:

California Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to force California’s prisons to release 46,000 convicted felons:

“The reason for this unfortunate Supreme Court decision lies with those in charge of the California legislature for the last two decades.  While the Democrat leadership has wasted $23,000 per Assembly and Senate bill on thousands of unnecessary bills each year, not to mention wasteful programs, they have failed in their most basic obligation to keep Californians safe by building adequate prisons. Now that neglect is taking the form of the forced release of 46,000 prisoners. It is a dereliction beyond shameful.”

Well, yeah. The Democrats have had a hammer lock on the California Legislature for decades and now hold all of the statewide Constitutional offices.

So, what say you Jerry Brown?
