.... What percentage of the population would you like to have in prison ? ....

Too easy. 100% of the people that break the law and are convicted by a jury of their peers to serve time.

See the slope where you pass laws that you don't plan to enforce is equally slippery.

Drug offenses and violent crimes are against the law. If you don't like the law, contact your legislature. If you break the law, don't cry if they put you in jail.

Drug offenders break the law because they do a calculation that the risk and cost of being caught is less than the penalty. Increase the risk and the calculation will change.

Slippery slope doesn't fly in this case.

"Slippery slope doesn't fly in this case."

Ok so you believe the rule of law is something more than a bad joke. That's fair. Instead of picking on the weak and locking them in cages why not do something that would make a difference like arresting Bill Clinton and shutting down the Mexican border ?
