Yesterday Paul Mirengoff<\/a> at Power Line<\/a> posted an article about a letter the National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys<\/a> sent Holder three days ago. The letter was in reference to the Attorney General<\/a>‘s support of the Durbin-Lee bill, which would overturn the current mandatory minimum sentences<\/a> not only for marijuana violations but for all drug offenses<\/a>, including major and repeat trafficking in heroin, meth, PCP<\/a> and other extremely dangerous, and often lethal, drugs.<\/p>\n

The article quotes the letter:<\/p>\n

We believe the merits of mandatory minimums are abundantly clear. They reach to only the most serious of crimes. They target the most serious criminals<\/a>. They provide us leverage to secure cooperation from defendants. They help to establish uniform and consistency in sentencing. And foremost, they protect law-abiding<\/a> citizens and help to hold crime in check.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Justice Department<\/a> under Attorney General Holder has a history of ignoring laws and practicing unequal justice. Hopefully, if this law is defeated, the Justice Department will continue to do its job in accordance with the current law.<\/p>\n

Putting drug dealers<\/a> back on the streets more quickly does not help our society in any way.<\/p>\n
