Jeff Sessions, his cronies and longer drug sentences

As a Republican, it's hard for me to agree with Obama Attorney General Eric Holder but...
Jeff Sessions is an a**hole

Excerpt from Business Insider

Attorney General Jeff Sessions drew backlash from an array of liberal and conservative critics on Friday after he rescinded an Obama-era policy and ordered federal prosecutors to begin charging suspects with the "most serious, readily provable" offenses that carry the harshest sentences.
Under the Obama administration, federal prosecutors had been instructed to pursue the toughest penalties only for "serious, high-level" criminals, rather than for low-level drug offenders.
"The policy announced today is not tough on crime. It is dumb on crime," Eric Holder, who served as attorney general in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2015, said in a statementon Friday. He added that Sessions' policy was an "unwise and ill-informed decision" and that Congress should enact criminal-justice legislature to reverse the move.

Non violent drug offenders, it seems, are fodder for the for profit jail system

I lost the domain name, some stuff I wrote was being used as curriculum for teaching L.C.S.W in another country... my head swelled up like the Goodyear blimp.

Then I remembered that EGO is one of my worst enemies...
so I posted lots of posts about Ego.
