Attorney General Jeff Sessions overturned the sweeping criminal charging policy of former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. and directed his federal prosecutors Thursday to charge defendants with the most serious, provable crimes carrying the most severe penalties.

In a speech Friday, Sessions said the move was meant to ensure that prosecutors would be “un-handcuffed and not micromanaged from Washington” as they worked to bring the most significant cases possible.

“We are returning to the enforcement of the laws as passed by Congress, plain and simple,” Sessions said. “If you are a drug trafficker, we will not look the other way, we will not be willfully blind to your misconduct.”

The Holder memo, issued in August 2013, instructed his prosecutors to avoid charging certain defendants with drug offenses that would trigger long mandatory minimum sentences. Defendants who met a set of criteria such as not belonging to a large-scale drug trafficking organization, gang or cartel, qualified for lesser charges — and in turn less prison time — under Holder’s policy.

Found it interesting that Rand Paul was boo-hooing that long sentences for drug peddling niggers was a bad thing...


But Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky), who has pushed hard for sentencing reform, said the policy will “accentuate” existing problems in the criminal justice system.

“Mandatory minimum sentences have unfairly and disproportionately incarcerated too many minorities for too long,” Paul said in a statement. “Attorney General Sessions’ new policy will accentuate that injustice.”

Rand Paul is a whack job on certain things. If he doesn't want the niggers to go to jail for crack peddling I suggest he go live in the heart of niggerville for a year and try to train them not to sell drugs.

I'm against the "War on Drugs", but as it stands, the law is the law and there is no constitutional right to sit around peddling or smoking dope. It's good to see that the feds will actually start enforcing the laws instead of ignoring blatant TNB and jaboonery. Now to fully and harshly enforce current immigration laws as well.
