Is there an echo in here???? The liberals are only using the “get tough on crime” conservative movement started in the 70’s to promote their own agenda. But make no mistake, it’s the conservative “get tough on crime” crowd that has built and championed the justice system that we currently have. Build more prisons and you have to fill them up with people. The only thing you are wrangling about is what constitutes a “crime”. Conservative built the system, liberals are just hijacking it.

Ah, I see the problem. You believe things that are simply not true.
The justice system we have is a hodge-podge of good measures by conservatives, mixed with liberal lunacy. It is nonsense to blame conservatives for the idiocy of the left.
Further, it is nonsensical to think that conservatives would want to fill prisons up just because they exist. Beyond that, US prisons have been overcrowded since at least the sixties. There has never in my lifetime been a surplus of unused prison space.
Start with actual facts—you know, the truth—and you’ll have a better chance to end up at a correct conclusion.
