He writes: "I will use the 2016 election cycle to analyze the steadily growing opportunities for social and ethnic minority communities in the United States to exercise political voice commensurate with their numbers and for the formation of cross -minority coalitions focused on shared political interests. I will also assess the emergence of new (or enhanced) efforts by (non-Hispanic) White communities and leaders to seek to limit the political voices of minority voters and leaders. The Trump candidacy serves to crystallize this native White response that has been growing since the election of President Obama in 2008". (Synopsis). LOUIS DESIPIO is Professor or Political Science and Chicano/Latino Studies at UCI, and Director of the Jack W. Peltason Center for the Study of Democracy. Author of "Counting on the Latino Vote: Latinos as a New Electorate", coauthor of several more books, and author of recent articles on immigration, Professor Desipio is frequently interviewed on radio and TV. He is also the author and editor of an eight volume series on Latino political values, attitudes and behaviors and Past President of the Western Political Science Association.

WHAT NOW FOR THE SUPREME COURT By Erwin Chemerinsky (Condensed by Jonathan Adler From the Orange County Register) or the first time since 1988, the Supreme Court began a term with only 8 justices. Its empty seat may define its 2016-17 Term. It likely will affect the cases the court takes and again create deadlock. It is inexcusable for Senate Republicans to have so hindered operation of the Court, and also the lower federal courts, where 105 judicial vacancies exist, including 32 called “emergencies.” Merrick Garland, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, was nominated March 16, 2016, and now has gone longer with no Senate action than any Supreme Court nominee in history. No one questions his impeccable qualifications. He has been a Court of Appeals judge longer than any Supreme Court justice

someone soon after taking office, it is unlikely that Senate hearings could be held before next spring, so the Court likely would have just 8 justices for all of its 2016 -17 Term. But Garland could be confirmed even if Trump wins: If the Democrats win control of the Senate, they could confirm Chief Judge Garland after the new Senate is sworn in January 3 and before the next president is inaugurated January 20. If Hillary Clinton is elected, it is even harder to predict when and how the vacancy will be filled. Especially if Democrats also win Senate control, Senate Republicans may well confirm Garland in a December lame-duck session as preferable (at age 64 and a moderate) to some likely more liberal and younger nominee. If Republicans again control the Senate, a Pres. Clinton may renominate Garland rather than expend political capital early in her presidency on a more controversial nominee. Having only 8 justices seriously hinders the

who ever served. No one can seriously object on ideologi- Court’s ability to do its job. Justices clearly are reluctant to take cases likely to lead to 4-4 ties, causing them cal grounds; by any measure, Garland is a moderate. Republicans’ obstructionism is unprecedented: A president in his last year in office nominated someone to fill a vacancy 24 times in history; 21 times, the Senate confirmed a nominee, including on January 27, 1801, just 7 days after Pres. John Adams named John Marshall to be Chief Justice, despite Adams’ loss of his re-election bid Nov. 4, 1800. Much more recently, in Pres. Reagan’s last year, in February 1988, the Democratic-controlled Senate confirmed now-Justice Anthony Kennedy. I am often asked whether Garland will ever be confirmed and how will the vacancy from Justice Scalia’s death be filled. The only possible answer is that it all depends on who wins the presidency and who controls the Senate after the November election. Consider the possibilities: If Donald Trump is elected, he obviously will not re-nominate Judge Garland. Trump accepted and issued 2 lists of possible High Court nominees, all very conservative, many highly qualified. Even if he nominates

not yet scheduled oral argument for some of the more controversial cases despite the briefing being done, perhaps hoping that a 9th justice will be confirmed in time for arguments. With just 8 justices, in many cases ties will occur or the court will have to rule narrowly, not reach major issues presented, and those issues go unresolved. One important task of the High Court is to resolve conflicts among lower courts so that federal law is uniform throughout the nation. This, too, is often impossible with only 8 on the bench. A basic constitutional principle of separation of powers is that no branch of government can impede the functioning of another branch. But that is exactly what the Senate is doing with its unprecedented obstructionism in refusing to consider Merrick Garland’s nomination.

Page 4 ADVICE OF CONCERNED CITIZENS ON STATEWIDE BALLOT MEASURES Props 51 Yes, 52 Yes, 53 No, 55 Yes, 64 Yes and 65 Yes: It may sound like how conservatives stereotype and attack progressives, but so be it: 1978 Prop 13 made it very difficult for Calif and local gov't entities to raise a tax or fee — by requiring a 2/3 vote of each state Legislative house, or of voters of any local gov't entity, and a super-majority of voters to issue bonds. As a result, far too many gov't projects and services are badly under-funded. Yes, "budgeting-by-initiative" isn't wise, but is often required to raise needed revenue. So, many progressives support all ballot measures to raise revenue by issuing bonds or raise or extend sales and other taxes and fees e.g. Props 51, 52, 55, 64 and 65 - and oppose those that make that harder - e.g. Prop 53. Only if a purpose for that revenue is low priority, should we set aside that presumption and oppose it. Prop 54 Yes: Seems like a good step for a more transparent legislative process. Will stop most late-session "gut-&- amend" of bills, that outrages "good gov't" groups like Common Cause and is favored by the Democratic leaders in control of the Legislature, that likely explains why the Calif. Dem Party advised a No vote. Prop 55 Yes: See above. Prop 56 Yes: $2.00/pack cigarette tax increase: Yes side says it'll deter smoking, especially by the young, and raise money for stopsmoking and other health programs. Prop 57 Yes: More judicial discretion and fewer mandates are good for everything in the criminal justice system. When discretion is taken from judges, it's taken by prosecutors. Prop 58 Yes: Supported by CFT and CTA (teachers ass'ns). Those experienced in teaching and language education support more flexibility and possible dual immersion programs for both native and non-native English speakers. Prop 59 Yes: A great many major national and Calif. groups against big-money special-interest influence in elections worked hard and long to return this anti-Citizens United referendum to the ballot, after the Calif. Supreme Ct. took it off in 2014, then reversed itself Jan. 4, 2016. If citizens can show strong political will for it, Senate and House Judiciary committees will draft it, using the best of about two dozen proposed drafts in bill form, now stuck in those committees. Prop 60 N.P.: Requires condoms for adult film intercourse, with a fees/regs/enforcement system. The Yes side says: It's a "workplace safety" issue, will reduce STD's, and helps curb "exploitation of women." Calif. Dem Party advised a No vote (as did Dem Party of 0.C.), after lobbying at its June 2016 Exec. Board meeting by adult film producers, directors, actors and actresses in that industry, who said: Right-wing anti-porn people put it on the ballot to attack their films by raising costs; current industry protocol (actors tested for STD every 2-to-4 weeks, results in a database producers must search, etc.) takes fine care of their health; and it's "nanny-state run amok." Prop 61 Yes: It'll start price bargaining for states Rx purchases with Big Pharma at the VA's cost; from there it might go down, but not up. It'll also deter illicit kickbacks. In any event, like chicken soup, this initiative "can't hurt." Prop 62 Yes and 66 No: Most anti-death penalty arguments are familiar. Besides moral and ethical issues, some unknown number of those executed were actually factually innocent, or guilty of lesser non-capital crimes; the U.S. is also among very few nations that retain the death penalty. But did you know death penalty cases cost many times that of life imprisonment? Huge costs are incurred for the much greater number, length and extent of legal proceedings that death penalty statutes and case law require, and the state must pay for most defendants. That's why some very conservative states have abolished the death penalty - for fiscal reasons! Prop 63 Yes: Many tough gun safety provisions are in this initiative, pushed by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom to raise his political profile but all already passed the Legislature. However, seven issues remain, and further tightening of California’s exemplary legislation is desirable. By voting ‘Yes’ we will show public support for rigorous gun control policies, and weigh in against the NRA as it lobbies nationally for weaker gun laws. Prop 64 Yes: It's high time (pun intended!) to legalize cannabis, and to tax and regulate it as a business. Passing this initiative in the nation's biggest state will help end the obscene federal DEA "War on Drugs" that has marijuana in the same Schedule I as heroin, cocaine, and other drugs that actually kill people. Props 65 and 67 Yes: Both are all about single-use carry-out plastic bags. Vote Yes on both if you want to support the Legislature's ban on such bags and require deposit of receipts from sale of other carry out bags in to a fund for wildlife conservation and the environment. Prop 66 No: See above. This initiative "doubles-down" on the death penalty, requires faster court review of capital cases and appeals to those who want to execute more people as well as faster.

“How Many Innocent People Are in U.S. Prisons?” BY TIM BURNS ccording to a February 2016 report from the National Registry of Exonerations, a project at the University of Michigan Law School, there were 149 exonerations in the U.S. in 2015. The rate of exonerations has been increasing rapidly for several years. The 149 defendants who were exonerated in 2015 served, on average, around 14 1/2 years in prison. According to this

freedoms have some limitations, and those include limitations on the second amendment. Even Lindsay Graham notes that: “. . . every right – whether speech or buying a weapon or any other constitutional right – has boundaries on it.” The Democratic party is noticing this shift and feeling enough confidence to embrace gun safety in this election cycle instead of avoiding the subject, as has been the case for many years, and one of the disappointments in the Obama administration is

The Innocence Project’s website states that the few studies that have been done estimate that between 2.3% and 5% of all prisoners in the U.S. are innocent. If just 1% of prisoners are innocent, that would mean that more than 20,000 innocent people are in prison. With about 2.4 million people incarcerated in the U.S., if the rate of innocence is 5%, as many as 120,000 innocent (Continued on page 6)

people could currently be in prison in this country.

Echoing Richard Nixon, Donald Trump calls for

“law and order.” We should remember the full-page ad he placed in the Daily News in New York in May 1989, regarding the “Central Park Five.” In that ad, Trump stated that “civil liberties end when an attack on our safety begins.” The headline of his ad was “Bring back the death penalty. Bring back our police.” The five young men in that case were tried in the media, and ultimately convicted and imprisoned after police coerced their confessions. Their eventual exonerations were thoroughly covered in a documentary directed by Ken Burns. Sadly, the police and prosecutorial misconduct in their cases are very common in this country. President Nixon appointed 231 federal judges, including four justices to the Supreme Court, which has had a significant impact on all our lives for decades. We should continually remind ourselves of the importance of who is elected to the White House and Senate in shaping our justice system. Thankfully, on

The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, by Nancy Isenberg This month we’d like to turn our attention to a topic which underlies some of what is happening with this year’s election, social class--specifically the white underclass. Who are they and where do they come from? This is a topic which very much interests us, but we have a confession to make. We have not yet read this book. We are presenting it here because the topic is important but neglected and the reviews

The bipartisan support for this bill in both the California Assembly and Senate is encouraging, and demonstrates that criminal justice reform is an area where Democrats and Republicans can work together. Our rates of incarceration in the U.S. are staggering and shameful. The fact that we incarcerate vast numbers of innocent people only adds to the horror. We should all take a hard look at the biases, incentives, and political demagoguery that foster so much injustice for so many. The reform of our criminal justice system should be one of our highest priorities, as we inch our way towards liberty and justice for all.

From the NY Times review by Thomas Sugrue: No line about class in the United States is more famous than the one written by the German sociologist Werner Sombart in 1906. Class consciousness in America, he contended, foundered “on the shoals of roast beef and apple pie.” Sombart was among the first scholars to ask the question, “Why is there no socialism in the United States?” His answer, now solidified into conventional wisdom about American exceptionalism, was simple: “America is a freer and more egalitarian society than Europe.” In the United States, he argued, “there is not the stigma of being the class apart that almost all European workers have about them. . . . The bowing and scraping before the ‘upper classes,’ which produces such an unpleasant impression in Europe, is completely unknown.” In “White Trash,” Nancy Isenberg joins a long list of historians over the last century who have sent Sombart’s theory crashing on the shoals of history… From the Kirkus Review: In this impressive work of so-

people, or impoverished, ignorant, landless whites, has persistently run against convenient notions of the upstanding American founder—i.e., moral, hardworking "entrepreneurial stewards of the exploitable land." Dumped on the Colonies, the vagrant, often criminal poor from England and elsewhere were considered expendable and often exploited. As a key to the story, Isenberg looks at the early settlement of North Carolina, which became a "renegade territory, a swampy refuge for the poor and landless," situated between elite Virginians and slaveholding "upstart" South Carolinians. Contrary to the mythmaking of the exceptional early American in writings by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson, based on theories of "good breeding" and yeomanry, a whole class of common people grew up as a byproduct of the slaveholding states, living on the margins of the plantations: dirtpoor Southerners (literally "clay-eaters") who were considered lazy and racially degenerate. Moreover, the enormous new swaths of Western land were largely populated by a new class of "squatters" or "crackers," considered "mangy varmints infesting the land" and represented by the first Westerner elected president, Andrew Jackson. Isenberg examines some surprising sources of these early stereotypes of white trash, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp (1856), in which the author "described poor whites as a degenerate class, prone to crime, immorality, and ignorance." From the eugenics movement to the rise of the proud redneck, Isenberg portrays a very real and significant history of class privilege in the United States. A riveting thesis supported by staggering research. Reviewers have noted that Isenberg neglects non-white poor people in this book. The National Review hates this book.

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN DIANE BAUMAN

t the last of the three August 30th GRF sessions for Officers of Laguna Woods Village Clubs and organizations, I was one of many to attend the presentation and discussion of the Recreation Division Policy. The informative meetings included feedback from the audience. As an ice-breaker, we were each asked to give one word to describe Laguna Woods Village. Heard were words like: “beautiful, busy, diverse, friendly.” I volunteered “fertile.” After some laughter, I was told that no one else had used that word that day.

The ease of joining excellent classes, enjoying the outdoor facilities, the amazing array of productive clubs and organizations, the delight of new friendships…. for someone like me, who knew no one when I arrived here — how marvelous! By way of further explanation, I will focus on and thank our dynamic Concerned Citizens organization. I have been given the privilege of being its President for the last two years. It’s been a most challenging experience! A challenge to not only use my past experiences, skills and know-how — but remarkably, at my age — to learn and develop further, to risk untried and new facets of myself. As other organization mavens know, one has to navigate through one’s mistakes and limits, as well as successes —while learning more and more from it all. Learning from success comes easier! And what has helped shape me in this adventure? WORK! A very busy calendar with many amazing co-volunteers! Concerned Citizens offers our community two monthly meetings on pressing contemporary issues, plus several special events scattered throughout the year, like UN Day, Earth Day. Additionally, planned celebrations and parties add to our vitality and fun.

Our behind-the-scenes work is hard work, but rewarding —weekly, monthly, Committee meetings, like our Program & Legislative Action, Special Events — new ad hoc Committee work like our excitWhat did I mean? “Fertile” is defined as proing new Gun Violence Committee.

We’re a marvelous team, caring and sharing our highs and lows.

Page 9 I learn much from each of you wonderful Concerned Citizens— conducting meetings, organizing events, listening to and adopting new ideas, the dedicated work of committees, sharing team work, getting publicity out, recruiting new volunteers, coping with error, “oiling the machinery”, and just “gettin’ along. How amazing that Concerned Citizens, 35 years old, continues to evolve, grow and remain such a dynamic organization in this 21st century. From what began as a response to the nation-wide fear of nuclear destruction in the 80’s, and to the commitment to Peace, our mission continues to evolve to support social and economic justice, save the planet, and good government concerns. Thus, I state my case for LWV being a “fertile” community. Not to sound too sentimental, but to come forward with appreciation is my intent. The art of appreciation should not be secondary, for appreciation illuminates and enriches our lives. I so appreciate what Laguna Woods Village, and our Villagers — and in particular what Concerned Citizens has made possible for me. I hope I give something back as a dedicated volunteer. Won’t you out there join me — become an active member, use your special talents and give something back. Enjoy the challenge — be fertile!
