...Summers, through a spokesman, confirmed that he had called Wilson.) In “Shaniqua”, a caricature of Summers raps the lyrics “Shaniqua don’t live here no more”—a line taken from the hit single by hip-hop artists Little T and One Track Mike. Frankfurter Professor of Law Alan M. Dershowitz also makes a guest appearance—in caricature form—in the animation.

It?s a closeup lesson in political compromise - or, as many supporters of change see it, the humiliating status quo. "The Right, they?re calling it a jail break," says Simmons, while the Left, "they want total repeal." An hour into the film, Pataki and Simmons do cut a deal, but one that reduces the penalty from 15 to 9 years and still doesn?t allow judges...
