该文本在公投之前早就发布给加州居民
没有人觉得有问题，没有人提出法律挑战表示不认同
现在什么人都出来乱舞了

1. Prop 47 是她關係緊密的組織和人員推出的
The 2014 initiative, which appeared on the statewide ballot as Proposition 47, emerged from the same progressive Bay Area milieu in which Harris rose to prominence and power. The policy proposal, which downgraded various property and drug crimes to misdemeanors in the interest of jailing fewer nonviolent offenders, was developed and funded by a cadre of criminal justice reformers that included people who had worked for her as San Francisco district attorney.
The campaign to pass Prop 47 was directed by the same elite consulting firm overseeing her reelection effort that year.
2. Newsom 支持 prop 47
The measure split the state’s Democrats. Newsom, who served as mayor of San Francisco when Harris was district attorney and was then lieutenant governor, came out in favor of the initiative. The late Sen. Dianne Feinstein argued against it, warning that “wholesale reclassification of many dangerous felonies as misdemeanors would put the people of California at continued risk going forward.”
3. 她給提案取的名字和概括缺失重要信息
Harris has faced such criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. In 2016, her Democratic opponent for U.S. Senate, Rep. Loretta Sanchez, slammed her for staying out of the fight around Brown’s parole initiative and accused her of distorting its summary. Last week, California Republican Party Chair Jessica Millan Patterson accused Harris of letting “criminals thrive” by “refusing to stop Prop 47.”
4. 做為執法領導人，她應該很清楚知道這提案的結果。但她不給意見
Bill Lockyer, a Democrat who served as the state’s attorney general from 1999 to 2007, said attorneys general aren’t required to stay neutral. Plenty have chosen to take a leading role when questions related to criminal justice came before voters.
Major California editorial boards that otherwise endorsed her campaigns for local, state and federal office assailed her neutrality as “gutless” and “disappointing,” with the Los Angeles Times calling her “too cautious and unwilling to stake out a position on controversial issues, even when her voice would have been valuable.”
“There were a lot of big proposals or initiatives out there, and she wasn’t leading the charge,” said Nathan Barankin, who served as her chief of staff at the time.
Despite Harris’ neutrality on Prop 47, she has still come under criticism for her office’s handling of the initiative. She was attacked for neglecting to acknowledge Prop 47’s impact on DNA-collection practices in its ballot description, and for not sharing information about the effect of downgrading gun theft penalties with the state’s nonpartisan analyst.
