“Those who are kind to the cruel are soon cruel to the kind..”

Yes:

Jailing ranchers, freeing drug-dealers.

this is retroactive sentencing. just as wrong as retroactive taxes. if it were to be done for innocent people shafted by unjust laws that’s another matter entirely. these people weren’t little innocents.

"Attorney General Eric Holder canceled his appearance before the Oklahoma City Police Department’s graduating cadet class Thursday amid angry protests over his scheduled visit.

Mr. Holder was scheduled to deliver remarks at the graduation ceremony at 2:30 p.m. ET, according to his official itinerary sent out by the Justice Department Thursday morning."

So he didn’t actually resign. He requested reassignment; so they still have their hooks in him and he can’t talk.

Exactly, and these felons in federal prison for the most part are not common users, counties and states prosecute them. These people are pushers, suppliers and importers and deserve no clemency.

And if these “disproportionally minority” convicted drug dealing felons are released, they will most likely go right back to their neighborhoods and start if all over.

Then the “minority neighborhoods” will start complaining louder about the crime in their neighborhood; never connecting the events.

This is doing no one a favor.

It seems so...Too bad he didn’t resign or retire like Christian Adams and speak out on this corrupt DOJ.

One of the problems with the mandatory minimums passed by the Feds in the 1980s is that although they justified it as a way to get the big drug kingpins off the streets for a very long time, they failed miserably at that. Most of these offenders are on the low end of the hierarchy so I see it as just another failed government program. Indeed, the number of people in Federal prison has increased by a magnitude of 10 since the 80s (from 20,000 to 200,000).

She’s still semi involved I guess. Wonder if the schools can get their original reservation dates back.

Yep, and he sneers. Little wonder decent people throughout the world despise him and adversaries ignore or laugh at him.

How did someone with honor end up in the Obama administration?

Thanks.

I think she did get a strong message though.

I’d guess he’s not a political appointee and was a holdover from pre 0bummer/Holder.
