Deal Breaker: California state Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris refuses to let five big banks get off easy

....Harris has come under pressure from the Obama administration to get with the program and agree to a settlement. (Having declined to go after the bankers themselves, administration officials now want some agreement, however inadequate, that they can tout to voters.)

That speaks well not just of her but of the emerging movement, whose voices she's heard, to restore some equity to America's politics and economy.
