I bet if I tune into DNN or MSDNC they'll have a perfectly logical reason that this is racist

The mandatory sentencing laws Have to be reversed. A crime is not black and white it is living color. Non violet crimes should give Judges guidelines and the ability to use discretion depending on circumstances etc etc etc

Good job Mr. Presidnet! Now do something about the divorce and family laws and courts that harshly punish and divorce rape men with lifetime alimony to ex-wives.

[lightningdriver]

The 1984 federal sentencing guidelines handed too much punitive power to prosecutors (and probation officers). And they went ape with it.

This will effect the lives of many children that have lost their parents through the criminal justice system. 😊🌈❤️❤️❤️

Bonus, gotta clear out quite a lot of cells for the corrupt!

I dont remember Obama pushing prison reform.

[craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume]

Nobody should even be going to jail for victimless crimes. If there's no victim, there's no justice to be had.

What did Obama do for the black community ?
1.
2.
3.
4.
5. Gay marriage

Don't matter what the crime is if you've done your time it shouldn't stay on your record for life should get all your rights back

[steven]

I want to see the full bill, but so far this looks good

[geralhammonds]

You know how to stay out of prison? DON'T COMMIT CRIMES!!

[katieadams]

This bill can pass in the house as well

[livinghaiti]

Something Obama should of done as soon as he became president

Crazy world when Kim K has done more then NFL players kneeling. Not saying I'm against it but why kneel for change when you can speak to the man who can actually change things. I didn't vote but if I vote in 2020 I will vote for Trump.

[thomasj]

Wow is he finally doing something for the ppl. Thank you...however I Need to read all of it. Unless he got some stuff in there for his corrupt subordinates

I'm a progressive but we must work on things we agree on. Displaying bipartisanship on many reforms like healthcare cost and education. On things that will have immediate positive effects on the working class. 50k or less. My co worker from canada pays $750 (family) per year for full coverage insurance no co pays no extra cost. I had to pay $3000 in deductibles n had to file bankruptcy. I'm a nurse it hurt that society (USA) 21 trillion dollars economy made healthcare for profit we dont care for our neighbors. I went to a high school Murray Wright in Detroit we had 60 kids 30 books total in one class with one teacher. How many kids will be successful in environmental like that? Before you criticize. Can your kids to learn in that environment? If you think so send them there to learn and then my brother my sister you will see. Bipartisanship!!!!

Who would hire a felon over someone who doesn’t break laws?
