There's a typo in the thread title. Somehow the name "Trump" got tacked on the front of the "Criminal Justice Reform Act". Imagine that.

FEDERAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM IN 2018
House Legislation. Former ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security Representative Bobby Scott (D-Va.) introduced HR 4261, the SAFE Justice Act, in November 2017. With 15 bipartisan cosponsors and referral to the subcommittee, the bill was the culmination of the House Judiciary Committee’s Over-Criminalization Task Force, led by Representative Scott and subcommittee Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.).

Senate Legislation. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s (R-Iowa) criminal justice reform bill, S. 1917, the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2017, also focuses on both the front and back ends of the prison system but differs its approach in several ways. First, S. 1917 would shift the application of mandatory minimums rather than focus mainly on reducing them.

What did you call the stimulus plan in 2009? Obama’s stimulus package?

Trump has been advocating for this bill for quite some time and then enthusiastically signed it into law.

I don't expect you to be honest with me, but I would think that you'd want to be honest with yourself.

Just curious.

Yes, I posted about it almost a week ago here: The trump presidency

Calling it "Trump's Justice Reform Bill" is extremely insulting to Jared Kushner though. Do you distort the truth in every post you make to try and annoy liberals, or do you actually believe your misunderstanding of reality?

I was.. But let’s be clear, if you give trump credit for anything good you’re automatically a racist who hates women.. so let’s say the reform bill was an after effect of Obama policy

That's not true.

I give credit where credit is due.

I fucking HATE Trump. But, when he does something that isn't completely bigoted or ignorant I will acknowledge it.

The thing is, he is so eager to put his name on everything and take credit when he's not the actual brain behind the policy. So in this case, he gets no props from me.

It's Trump's bill because, if it's an abysmal failure, you sure as shit will be calling it "Trump's bill".

Such a mature and relevant contribution to the conversation..

: unamused:

You're a partisan hack and are incapable of engaging in honest, objective discussion. Your remark about not giving Trump any credit for the passage of the bill is so ridiculous as to be comical. Hence the "Lol".

You clearly haven't read very many of my posts.

I'm an independent. Not a Democrat, not a Republican... I consider myself politically progressive, but that doesn't mean I am part of any particular political party.

The cynic in me says that buried DEEP in "the language" of the "final bill" is more that enough "loopholes" that if some right wing US Attorney or Federal Judge wants to ignore ignore this he/she most definitely CAN and because they can they WILL anytime the person before them is a rich white guy or a white kid from the burbs or a "rural area" AKA "Trumps base" the law will be followed but if it is anything other that, black or brown from an "urban area" it will not be

We have already seen this 180 shift in how "they" are treating "the opioid epidemic" as opposed to crack way back when.

Also lets keep in mind this ONLY effects Federal cases and the vast majority of the type of crimes in question are State level cases.
