Interesting that they put fixing the horrid drug sentencing laws at the top of their list of good things.

But the Sentencing Commission adjustment in the sentencing guidelines and the Supreme Court decision allowing downward departures are only changes at the margins. Congress needs to act to reduce the totally unfounded sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. There are bills pending. Will Congress have the guts to do the right thing? Hah, stupid question.
