Drug War Madness:

The commission is to make sweeping recommendations for reform, and is tasked in particular with developing proposals to “restructure our approach to drug policy.”.........Enter unreconstructed drug warrior Sen. Chuck Grassley, who has released the text of an amendment that would ensure the commission not reach any conclusions that threaten 40 years of failure. The commission would be prohibited, thanks to Grassley, from examining any “policies that favor decriminalization of violations of the Controlled Substances Act or the legalization of any controlled substances.”

  2. #2    Grassley (the Dumber of the Team Dumb, Sen. Baucus, and Dumber, Grass-a$$ himself) says he wants limited government, but he is a junkie for the bloated, corrupt, out-of-control DEA. What a weasel!

  3. #3    Slip 'em a tab or two -- that would be interesting. They'd probably have to be carted away by the white jacket folks -- finally.

  6. #6    The US has no interest in reducing prison populations. The Judicial/Prison Industry in this country make alot of money off incarcerating/warehousing drug offenders. When they finally pass the laws to outsource prisons to private corporations, we will essentially have one arm of the Government fully subsudizing a complete branch of private industry. Once that happens, we will see lobbiest from these corporations writing laws that will make even more thingsa a crime requiring mandatory prison time, thus increasing their profits.
