Thanks Scamberger!

Thankfully Virginia now has an attorney general who will sue him for that and win.

Now do the list of “first day priorities” for state Republicans, too.
Your histrionics are so boring. And they make you sound like you fundamentally don’t understand how government works. I get that you are just trying to be a bad-faith, provocative jerk, but you only manage to come off looking like you just fell off the turnip truck.
Explain it to me then. Why do the democrats want to eliminate minimum sentences for these horrible crimes?
Hmmmm
...
It is about allowing judicial flexibility and power to sentence based on individual circumstances, reducing the costs and effects of long term incarceration, and revising the power DAs have---a good portion of people never end up getting the minimum sentence because DAs will use that thread to plea criminal out to lesser charges.
SO overall, the idea is that minimum sentencing just hasn't worked as a policy and all the data shows that. All of it.
Agree or disagree, but don't act like people opposed to minimum sentences love criminals and are soft on crime. It is a dishonest take and makes you look unable to actually have a useful policy debate.
It might be decent policy but it’s horrible optics. A perfect example of Democrats feeding propaganda opportunities to Fox News. This is the kind of second-priority legislation you do after you’ve done something popular around affordability, jobs, or housing.
Why do you think this is the only bill being proposed?
Why are you propagating the propaganda?

This is word salad but you know that.
