House Speaker Paul Ryan is facing a major obstacle in his months-long quest to pass criminal justice reform: unenthused House Republicans still skittish about looking soft on crime. The Wisconsin Republican for weeks has repeated his personal desire to move a bipartisan package that would include allowing well-behaved nonviolent prisoners to be eligible for early release and easing some drug-related sentencing requirements.

Violet crime is skyrocketing in America's cities and this clown wants to go easy on thugs.

Wisconsin CD 1 really screwed up when they did not Cantorize this globalist, leftist weasel.

It would mark a major accomplishment for the speaker, and a chance for Republicans to show racial minorities they care about issues of social justice — plus a salient, positive message countering Donald Trump’s racially charged bid for the White House.

Gross bias of Politico exposed.

The prison reform I want is more executions.

Ryan Is As Evil As Boehner!
