Let The Felons Go!

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

Today, John, Paul and Scott got together for Episode 27 of the Power Line Show. They were joined by former federal prosecutor Bill Otis, and discussed the criminal justice “reform” bill that is being rushed through the Senate.

If you have wondered whether it is really a good idea to let a lot of convicted felons out of federal prisons on the ground that their drug dealing was “non-violent,” this conversation will answer that question. The rest of the hour was taken up with the big news story of the day, the GOP House’s effort to come up with a speaker. Once again, I plaintively posed the question: where in the Constitution does it say that the Senate minority gets to dictate federal spending?

It is an entertaining and informative show, we hope you enjoy it!

    Wow! Interview with Bill Otis was incredible. Everyone who is interested in criminal justice "reform" should listen.
