Public Safety Committee Chairman Bill Quirk stopped Senate Bill 448 from being passed in the Assembly yesterday when he refused to conduct a hearing on that bill. He took that action despite a Rules Committee ruling that suspended both an Assembly rule and the State Constitution.
“Chairman Quirk is to be commended for his courage and his integrity,” stated CA RSOL president Janice Bellucci. “He protected the U.S. Constitution as well as the civil rights of registered citizens when he stopped SB 448.”
Prior to the Chairman’s act, SB 448 was poised for passage on September 11, the last day of the legislative session due to the lobbying efforts of Facebook billionaire Chris Kelly. Before the bill could be considered by the full Assembly, however, it required approval by the Public Safety Committee.
“Kelly attempted a brazen attack upon the First Amendment as well as upon registered citizens in his support for SB 448,” stated Bellucci. “If passed, SB 448 would have stolen the First Amendment rights of thousands of Californians.”
In addition to his support for SB 448, Kelly is the primary financial contributor of Proposition 35, which also required disclosure of internet identifiers. Kelly is also a party in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU of San Francisco that stopped implementation of that requirement. Because SB 448 failed to pass, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will make permanent a preliminary injunction granted on November 18, 2014, and the requirement of Prop. 35 to disclose internet identifiers will not be implemented.

Public safety rationale for the Constitution Violator Selfish Politician Hypocrite Community Notification and Registration Act: “Politicians pose a continuous threat in writing laws on hysteria, without rational reason, for their own personal benefit in gaining popularity for election.” This could be in form of voter proposition. I can already imagine the campaign ads: pictures of Chris Kelly, ominus voiceover of how he made his wealth from greed and has pushed laws void of empirical evidence in hopes of capturing the spotlight; Hypocrite Ben Hueso, with video of his DUI arrest and failure to take responsibility for his crime. Scam Artist Politicians George Runner and Sharon Runner, for their continued fear-monger belief in residency restrictions. Maybe a mention of George Runner misusing his government website to benefit him and his wife. What do Kelly-Hueso-Runners have in common? “Creating laws not based on empirical evidence, at the cost of Constitutional Rights; but at the benefit of politicians.”

Kelly came in 3rd to Harris, and also lost to some guy who had no money in his campaign fund and no one heard of. Kelly could run again. So it is a good thing SB 448 did not pass. Kelly won’t be able to interpret SB 448 in the harshest way he possibly can because SB 448 was not. Kelly, as Atty Gen, or Kelly influencing the next Atty Gen ( more likely ) will have only thin air to draw some cyber-nazi registrant internet identifier nonsense from , as it stands. For this, I am grateful to Janice, the ACLU, Bill Quirk, EFF, everyone who wrote letters and made phone calls, and anyone who at first believed Hueso and took him at his word that he and Kelly would include tiering in SB 448 and when they did not, may have voiced support to Bill Quirk that he was making a sound decision to defeat SB 448.
“themselves (not unlike the sex offender who never learned his/her lesson…”
To give you the benefit of the doubt, I guess you are using the term ‘sex offender’ interchangeably to mean unconvicted perpetrator of sex crimes. But it does look like you are comparing politicians to registrants, who have an under 1% rate of reoffense, and to which your comparision would fall flat.

Kelly is not a politician as he hasn’t been elected to any office. So it sounds like he wouldn’t be included in it. So what’s the point? I think the way to go is to expand Sobin’s Idiots registry. But he must be pretty busy with the backlog out in Florida. It appears Foley, Walsh and Lunsford are still in the backlog to be added. Kelly deserves to be there for his Beacon Program at FaceBook, calling himself a ‘Chief Privacy Officer’, then pushing for the cyber-nazi laws of registrant internet identifier self-reporting to law enforcement. Zuckerberg deserves to be there for his FaceMash hacking and cyber-bullying of girls/women, banning registrants from FaceBook in violation of California Penal Code 290 several years later, and working in concert with Kelly’s internet identifier reporting laws in states where Kelly’s money was met with little resistance, to facilitate sending registrants who did not correctly report internet identifiers to prison, in what I call the FaceBook-to-prison pipeline.
Listen. We have a HUUUGE problem with sex offenders. Just HUUUGE O.K.? I know A LOT of experts, people I deal with, that say we need to ship these rapists back to China, Mexico, and Japan. Right now, Japan sends us cars, we send them beef. That’s NOT a good deal. Listen. I am a REALLY smart guy. I went to the BEST school in the country. I will tell Japan to take all our sex offenders. I will built a wall that will be SO great and big, even BIGGER than Rosie O’Donnell, that none of those rapists will come back again. The wall will be real. Not like Obama’s birth certificate. Listen. No one likes to talk about it, but America NEVER wins any more. I will make a FANTASTIC deal with Putin, who by the way I will get along with great, to give back Snowden for the secrets to the Static-99/R. LISTEN. I am #1 in the polls right now. BY A LOT. Megan Kelly won’t say this because she’s a LOSER. You need someone like me, who by the way has used the laws to my advantage, to turn things around. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain
A lot of weird scenarios and off-base political stuff. Miranda, is that you coming up with all these nicks and just starting your trolling anew with each one?? Anyways, my take on Trump is what I first thought but changed my mind on, that Trump is a shill for Jeb. Trump ran for President before and didn’t come up with all this crazy stuff.
William said “When Kamala “The Faker” Harris leaves office, there is concern Constitution Violator and Aspiring..”
I do not see a need, to attack anyone who beat back the cyber-nazi Chris Kelly from being Attorney General, and otherwise appears to be a wise person, with silly nicknames.
Facebook’s Chris Kelly is a moron. I look at Chris Kelly’s pictures and he looks like he has power issues (looking down at camera with angry eyes and glaring glasses, as seen on his Wikipedia article). Chris Kelly’s hardline on Registered Sex Offenders is emblematic of Facebook’s superficial and shallow nature. Not only do people have the tendency to portray their artificial selves on Facebook, but Facebook attempts to foster an environment isolated from the fact America is made up of well over 700,000 registered sex offenders (most of whom do not reoffend). As time goes on, karma will catch up to Facebook and fear-monger Chris Kelly. People will realize Facebook is a big waste of time and stop spending so much time on it. The clowns at Facebook will banish into insignificance resembling MySpace. The pendulum will swing the other way. It’s just a question of when.
FANTASTIC!!
Unfortunately, it’s not over. Here’s an important update on the status of SB 448, as well as an amendment that was not included on California’s legislative website:
https://www.eff.org/document/interveners-status-report
Anyone have any idea how today’s hearing went? There’s no new information on EFF’s website, so just curious.
Thanks.
Got the update, and it’s not good.
Proponents requested more time to pass legislation resolving this matter, and the judge granted it, allowing the legislature until March 21, 2016 to pass a law that passes constitutional muster.
The case is, once again, deferred until that time. Both parties must file an update no later than March 19th, 2016, bringing the judge up to date on the current status of the law. Also, it should be pointed out that the legislature did not “kill” the bill. It’s simply paused until they return. This thing could fly through the legislature and land on the governor’s desk the moment they return.

Got the update, and it’s all good. This thing died like the tiered registry unfortunately did. But it does bother me this canard still seems to have emergency status. Without SB 448, nothing bad has happened. So obviously, this cyber-Nazi nonsense is not an emergency.

Hopefully, the tiered registry will be there instead since it has the same status as SB 448.
SB 448 was amended in the Assembly on January 4. It is destined to go back to the Public Safety Committee. When? I don’t know. Anyone? Since there is not much we can do about the passport identifiers at this time, maybe we should start looking over the changes to SB448, discussing it and composing letters, making calls, to the Public Safety Committee(doing other actions?). I didn’t think this was ever going to end.
