More Bullshit From the MTAHNS

More jabber jabber:
Federal prosecutors will no longer seek long, "mandatory minimum" sentences for many low-level, nonviolent drug offenders, under a major shift in policy aimed at turning around decades of explosive growth in the federal prison population, Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. planned to announce Monday.

"Too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long, and for no good law enforcement reason," Holder planned to tell the American Bar Assn. meeting here, according to an advance text of his remarks. "While the aggressive enforcement of federal criminal statutes remains necessary, we cannot simply prosecute or incarcerate our way to becoming a safer nation."
If the MTAHNS was really serious, the President has a tool sitting right on his desk to begin fixing it. It is his pen. All he has to do is sign commutation papers for the "low-level nonviolent drug offenders" who are already serving lengthy sentences in the Federal slam.

But you know that won't happen. Ol' Barry is the worst president in modern history when it comes to using his power to pardon or commute sentences. He is worse than being a DINO on this. You'd think that Sheriff Arpaio was running the pardon process.

Lying and hiding the ball is what this particular president is really skilled at.*

But I am disappointed that on every call between ramping up the national security state or scaling it back, Obama has sided with the diminution of freedom and liberty

  1. Sigh. It would have been so nice to have a 'progressive' in office. True tho that Barry is a lightyear ahead of Mr 47%.

  2. But look at the bright side. At long last we Americans are learning how to distinguish the difference in descriptors such as "Not Good," "Bad," "Terrible," "Ourageously awful," an "an effin' disaster."
