Jeff Sessions is the next Confederate monument that should be taken down.

Watch for efforts to extend the death penalty to drug offenses and even economic crimes. Donald Trump is a vindictive fellow who believes in brutal 'justice' as dows many of the political figures taht he most admires.

Eric Holder issues a scathing statement in response to the decision:

That's Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III to you, buddy.

I think we have someone who would have shoplifters hanged.

[The Arizonan]

This guy wants to bring back the War on Drugs.

Somewhat ironic that the most corrupt administration in history is ''getting tough on crime.'' Trump has literally been sued 10,000 times for fraud.

Jeff Sessions is the next Confederate monument that should be taken down.

That's Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III to you, buddyboy.

FTFY

So Sessions doesnt believe in the 10th amendment of the Constitution . It is high time for the courts to come in an declare that the feds have absolutely  no authority on this issue, and it is a power that is reserved to the states.

Um, this is a policy and procedure change on the prosecution Federal cases. This is absolutely the core definition of what the federal government has control over. There are several reasons not to like this change in policy, but the 10th Amendment is completely inapplicable.

[Green Line]

This is not the kind of tough of crime we need.

[Maxwell]

Disgusting.

Unsurprising the reaction from conservatives is, as usual, "are you triggered yet libcucks?" instead of realizing how damaging this could be.

[publicunofficial]

I hate that awful Southern gnome.

[MasterJedi]

This is basically a "charge people with the maximum crime you can get a conviction on no matter what", except for those rich white kids, it could ruin their lives, so go easy on them.

[Hammy]

Conservatives only know how to think on hatred and spite anymore.

They can't vote if they're behind bars.
