      Following the lead of his predecessor, former California Attorney General Kamala Harris, Becerra’s office was battling a defense that argued Robert Lewis, originally sentenced to death in 1991, was ineligible for execution because he was intellectually disabled. Lewis’s attorney, Robert Sanger, told The Intercept that while individual attorneys general can’t control everything their deputies do, he was disappointed with how Becerra’s office handled the case.

      “I was kind of feeling like it would be a good time for the AG to say, ‘OK, we tried and he’s intellectually disabled. We got that determination made. Let’s just let it go,’” Sanger recalled. “Instead, it went all the way to oral arguments in front of the [state] Supreme Court.”

          While clever insults are certainly entertaining, they do seem to distract focus from the meat of the matter. We have to recondition (re-educate) ourselves, since obviously, the oligarchs’ ruling good cop/bad cop monoparty have vested interest in continuing the brilliant conditioning Ed Bernays broke ground on, for the feds. So once more, since certainly none of us working class lemmings don’t have vested interest in distraction:
