The failed war on drugs is a tiny, almost invisible, aspect to Holders intentions.I'm glad that Holder has come to the obvious realization that the war on drugs is a misguided failure. I'm optimistic that America will one day adopt the current model of Portugal, with regards to how we handle our drug crises.
Republicans should be applauding Holder for what he is doing - taking a "smaller government" approach to a problem by loosening the grip on its citizens.
Instead, as per usual, they are making this into a partisan witch hunt with no bases in their own belief system.
The reason a disproportionate rate of black men are in prison is because a disproportionate number of criminals are black men. Even liberal social scientists concede racial bias doesn't explain the prison gap.
This is not strictly street dealers
