It’s pretty clear the Justice Department is spending much of its time these days creating situations which portray the Attorney General as engaged and effective, while simultaneously diverting attention away for his incompetent and even illegal action while in office. Unfortunately these new guidelines for low-level drug offenders he’s been touting recently, are as superficial and misguided as the numbers he’s using to justify them. Not only did Eric Holder completely misrepresent and basically bungle the drug use stats for the last fifty years, but he did so under the guise that this latest “44 hippie initiative” would somehow improve conditions created by the cancer that is illegal drugs in our country today.
Putting aside the AG’s inaccurate numbers for just a minute, this sort of foolishness wouldn’t be half as hard to take if the man proposing the solutions actually served one day in uniform as a police officer. I mean, does it bother anyone else that the “chief law enforcement officer in the land” was never even a law enforcement officer???
