    U.S. Attorney General To Ease Impact Of Harsh Drug Sentencing Laws

    U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to announce a major shift in prosecution of federal drug crimes Monday, recognizing the injustice of draconian mandatory minimum sentences, and an exploding federal prison population.

    Holder will order all federal prosecutors to avert drug charges that carry mandatory minimum sentences for low-level offenders
    this is your friendly reminder that Holder was (if not still is) an avowed drug warrior and is now getting excess credit for coming around on an issue that legitimately has bipartisan support.

    i give credit for the turnaround on the issue, but i wish people could vocalize that instead of pretending they have ALWAYS believed what they believe now.
