Leave it to you to try to make this a Left/Right issue. Even the ACLU agrees the First Step Act is a good idea.

How the FIRST STEP Act Moves Criminal Justice Reform Forward

Imagine that, the ACLU agrees with President Trump.

Oh, and your comments on the New York Post are leftist malarkey. It is credible news source.

Thanks for posting better information. The New York Post is a tabloid outlet, not credible news source. Next you're going to tell me the National Enquirer is a credible news source. Does it bother you that abortion is legal in Israel?

BTW, I'm against this bill. And you shouldn't assume everyone supports the ACLU opinion on certain topics.

"could lead to unconstitutional government spending on religious programming"

That's a problem right there, republicans and corporate policy want to privatize the prison industry. This allows crooked corporations to receive my tax dollars at a premium. You must realize this is all done in the name of capitalism, not for the well being of the inmates.

The New York Post is the fourth largest newspaper in the U.S. Being owned by News Corp does not lessen it as a news source, notwithstanding your obvious bias.

I have no issues with Israel’s abortion laws.

Oh, I get it now. That's like how Fox says they have the highest ratings. And your conclusion is "Highest ratings/viewership = Highest credibility/truth"

That's not how it works.

Ratings =/= truth
Ratings = entertainment value

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Now, do you have any comments on the First Step Act, or not?

If it isn't Salon, Slate, MSNBC, Mother Jones, Alternet, Wa Po or NYT,
the left doesn't trust any source.


Just kidding!

I say the same about the right outside of Youtube, the National Enquirer and usually Fox.

Not kidding.
