Jeff Sessions Tells Prosecutors:Prosecute Drugs More Harshly

A new memo from Attorney General Jeff Sessions directs prosecutors to seek longer sentences and prosecute drug crimes with the most severe penalties.
This means more mandatory minimum sentencing and more people in prison for longer over relatively minor drug offences, costing us billions in the long run.
This could be step one towards the death of marijuana legalization, and is a huge step backwards in our drug policy, going back to a system that failed disastrously already.

I long to see a majority of the Trump administration gettin' poked in the pokey ... particularly this smarmy keebler elf troll. Certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

For a party that says it is all about state rights over a large federal government... they sure seem to love to contradict themselves. "Know how you made weed legal? Yeah, we're undoing that, state rights don't apply... but if you want to make it so that family that has a kid with bone cancer can't afford their insurance or treatment, then fill free to let that kid die, we're not going to force you to keep pre-existing conditions covered affordably... if they wanted that kid to live, they should have had better jobs... and certainly don't have to make men pay for pre-natal care, but make sure those women pay for men's Viagra, because men have to get their fuck on, any women who does is just a whore." And they are also the "moral" party... Christ...

The "Sessions memo" rolled back a memo issued by Attorney General Eric Holder in 2013 that encouraged prosecutors to use their discretion when filing criminal charges.

Unfortunately Eric holder memo was for low level and big time criminals.

Unfortunately Sessions memo undo Holder memo.

Sessions memo have been be light on low level criminals and hard on big time crooks.
