I would love to get into a discussion today about the best most effective way to tax and regulate. First, a final reflection on current prohibition of consentual adult behavior. Mandatory-minimum sentencing has done little to address the very real problem of drug abuse, while also doing great damage by destroying so many lives. Each case should be judged on its own merits, yet mandatory minimums prevent this from happening. The Justice Safety Valve Act will be an important step in improving justice in our nation’s courtrooms.
