Mandatory minimums on drug crimes isn’t racist but Congress can still do better
Jeff Sessions’s policy won’t lock up harmless stoners, but it will help dismantle drug-trafficking networks.
While I personally believe that drug use should be decriminalized and managed by the ATF (probably with a slight rename), I also believe that laws should be enforced as written. If Congress chooses to continue to create a black market for drugs, then the law enforcement professionals are duty-bound to enforce those laws, and defendants will continue to need a criminal defense team to help them in these cases.
I truly believe that crime would drop if drugs were licensed with the production and selling of those drugs was monitored, managed, and TAXED.
Calling Mr. Sessions a racist because he has chosen to follow the laws that are written by Congress is absolute foolishness and probably partisanship.
