Dear US Congress: Please pass retroactive immunity for all non-violent drug offenders...

[KansDem]

Mistakes were made, it's time to move on...

Do it for the sake of our country, our nation, our citizens. Do it for all Americans!

Thank you,
KansDem

1. if we still had a government of the people

this would have been done long, long ago, or never been necessary in the first place.

k'd and r'd.

2. Sorry, retroactive immunity is reserved for rich, white guys.

3. You...you...you mean we *aren't* a "nation of laws?"

...with "liberty and justice for all?"

I...I...I'm confused!

4. The prison lobby will have fits - think of all the lost revenue.

5. If they did that, they would have to roll up the profitable money laundering

activities.

7. that's only for those who collude with the government on illegalities...

8. To be fair,

How many non-violent drug offenders have been convicted and jailed because of civil suits? Probably none. Criminal charges against telecoms can still be filed.

11. Sure criminal charges

can be filed. Tomorrow, you can be a billionaire. How likely is it that either will happen?

14. My point was that the analogy was not valid

The posts in the thread led me to wonder whether people understood that the immunity was selective. I don't disagree with the sentiment, however.

9. Laws are designed to provide for the safety and protection of the Rulers of the Land

Get A Brain! Moran!

13. Do it for all Americans!

There's the rub, our government is not run for the benefit of all Americans, it is run for the benefit of the priveleged few.
