The 2022 Reckoning

Two-thirds of swing voters say Democrats went “too far” in the COVID response. We are in for a reckoning of epic proportions.

That reckoning just arrived for three school board members in San Francisco. It will next be visited upon the city’s district attorney, who faces his own Recall in June. Gavin Newsom, with his cratering poll numbers, can see the writing on the wall.

As can our Legislature, apparently, as pigs are suddenly flying. The first shocking development is that my bill to repeal Prop. 47, the law causing out-of-control crime, will actually get a vote in two weeks. 

Second, while we didn’t end the emergency before the Super Bowl, we did shame the Legislature into action. The Senate has finally agreed to debate cutting off Newsom’s emergency powers.

This comes as Newsom rolled out his “endemic” policy, calling it the SMARTER plan. (At least he acknowledges there’s only room for improvement.) It also comes as students across California walked out of class to protest the mask mandate.

Young people have been treated monstrously, but they’ve shown remarkable grit. That’s one reason I’m hopeful this will be a year of profound change: that out of this dark era of government control we can light a new spark of liberty.
