Re: They just need to make the penalty so outsized

No, we didn't repeal the law, we modified the law (see Proposition 36). As originally written, California's version of three strikes was a stupid fucking law that did nothing to reduce crime, and everything to clog the court and penal systems. It's better now, but still needs work.
