My point is.. If one of the major sub-laws in 'No Child Left Behind' is for the Federal Government to have complete access to your child's school records 'for recruiting purposes', then they should be responsible for prisoner re-entry! Pure and simple!
I don't believe the Fuzz should have control of 'anything' of ours, imho! The Feds are 'always' going to be against the population.. Our right to assembly, our right's to bear arms.. And, local government fears us as much as the fuzz do.
Some nanny state laws are good, but others are bad. Good nanny state laws include, but not limited to, smoking bans, mandatory seatbeat wearing, making it illegal to spank, and banning transfat. Bad nanny state laws include, but not limited to, laws banning alcholic beverages, banning sweet foots, banning medical marijuana, mandatory sterilization of pets, enforcing the Candida control diet, mandatory censorware use, and banning or regulating any form of entertainment media.
Well at least I know if I ever get busted in California for not wearing a helmet, not using a hands free cell phone while driving, or buying a incandecent light bulb (legislation introduced by the DEMOCRATIC PARTY) I'll have you in my corner, fighting to get my sentence reduced.
Re: End of the year report on federal sentencing bills
Up until the very end, Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) was hopeful that a provision authorizing a federal Bureau of Prisons pilot program for the early release of elderly, nonviolent prisoners would pass. It got out of the Senate as an amendment to the Court Security bill, but the House failed to pass the bill.
The widely praised bipartisan Second Chance Act (S.1934/ H.R. 1704) met a similar fate in the Senate. Although many key Senators, including Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), worked to get the bill through the Senate, fellow Republican Tom Coburn (Okla.) blocked the bill for ideological reasons: In his view, it is not the federal government's role to aid states with prisoner reentry.
'Many Democratic members of Congress with whom FAMM works were re-elected and will assume powerful leadership positions when Congress reconvenes in January.
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) will become Chair of the House Judiciary committee, replacing sentencing reform foe Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who orchestrated attacks on judicial discretion and sponsored the egregious "Booker-fix" bill, among many other costly and punitive sentencing bills. Rep. Robert "Bobby" Scott (D-Va.) will become Chair of the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, which is the committee where sentencing bills begin.'
'The positive relationships we have built with Republican lawmakers like Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) and Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who were re-elected, will also continue. And, of course, we will keep reaching out to more Republicans to build a broad consensus for sentencing reform, which is still necessary to win reforms.'

I'm sorry, I didn't realize this video was about letting senile prisoners out of the slammer early.

'OUR' disagreement was regarding the passage of laws - 'period', as far as I can remember.
And fyi - 'senile' people do not belong in prison, they belong in 'mental institutions'..
Just as people whose only crime is abusing drugs do not belong in prison..
