sides, like rand paul rick perry, working in the senate and in their home states to remedy that problem, which is now a wonderfully bipartisan issue. >> by reducing sentences to put them out on the streets are you basically legalizing the drugs ambassador. >> no. that is part of the point. the entire effort to reduce sentences and release people is based on ignoring history. i was at the justice department in the reagan administration had we worked to put sentencing guide lines in place and congress approved them and the reason was up until then had federal judges who were social engineering. get a defendant in front of them. be convicted or plead guilty and judge would give him a lenient sentence because they felt sorry for them or would help rehabilitate them. in fact the sentencing guidelines were intended to correct the problem of excess sieve judicial discretion t was right in the 1980s and right today. one reason crime had been going down people were in prison. that is where they deserve to be when they committees crimes.
