"California voters,...chose Harris, the 46-year-old career prosecutor with the more thoughtful and expansive vision of the role of an attorney general. As with Brown, Harris said she would not defend laws she regarded as blatantly unconstitutional (such as Prop. 8, the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage) and would help assure the implementation of the state's landmark climate-change law. Harris pledged to enforce the state's death penalty law despite her personal opposition to it - but she repeatedly and correctly reminded voters that it was not the most pressing criminal-justice issue in the state.

Her top priority would be to try new approaches to reducing the state's unacceptably high recidivism rate, which represents a serious peril to public safety and a steady drain on the state budget."

A more appropriate description for the new AG would be 'comprehensive view' instead of 'expansive vision', but its the nature of the media to use words that incite. The truth is the new AG is neither liberal nor conservative but endowed with 'Common Sense", which is all a citizen can ask for.
