"The commission acted on a temporary basis to implement the Fair Sentencing Act, which was passed into law last summer. It will vote in May to make the changes permanent."
Umm. Why should this commission have the option/right/duty/whatever to VOTE on something congress already made law of? This commission needs to put their ego in check and just do what congress said. This is just another example of why this draconian mockery of what used to be a free nation needs its government removed and replaced.

so TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
having been busted in 1994, albeit, for a difn "substance," ... i was shocked, dismayed, disgusted, exasperated, ... disbelieved when i read (having checked out from the local lending library) entire the U.S. Fair Sentencing Act ... henceforth, spent time to write EVERY state and federal legislature representative for Alabama (where resided at the time).
Also, observed incredulously the racketeering ... quid pro quo, goings on in the "good ol' boy" network -- alive and well in alabama ... reprehensible
each and every one of us need to SPEAK UP and continue doing so .. we KNOW that eventually, laws will be charged ... can't happen soon enough, u know?

crack
crack 50 grams should be given the same sentence as cocaine. 50grams. why sentence crack harshly if crack and cocaine are basicly the same thing they both are cocaine. cost the same. the law i feel is unfair concerning the amount of grams. I FEEL EVERONE AFAIR JUSTICE WE ARE HUMAN NOT ANIMAL GOD CREATED US HAVE MERCY AS GOD HAS MERCY FOR US .WE ARE NOT THE DEVIL AS THE DEVIL CAME TO KILL AND STEAL AGOOD NAME WE ARE NOT MURDERS THAT THE DEVILS JOB. I CAN TELLYOU WE ARE NOT PERFECT BUT WE ARE ALL SINNERS AND CAN CHANGE OUR LIFE TO ABETTER ONE, IF GIVEN A CHANCE AND NOT TO BE LOCKED UP FOR A LONG TIME IN PRISON. I BELIEVE 4 TO 5 IS REASONABLE FOR 55GRAMS OF CRACK OR COAINE. LORD FATHER GOD PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON THESE PEOPLE AND MY ONLY SON ;[

why people that have 280 drugs let them out of jail just because there from the unaided states and people that are from Mexico give them more year even do they found them with less drug why just because were different color from the outside but from the inside were all the same color.. there were this men that said he had drug and they gave him 10 years that is just not fear at least give him 2 years or 1 thtas my opinion because all he polices don't have no idea how the family feels

YOUR MOM
YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT THE PROBATION OFFICE IN THE CITY SHE WAS CHARGED IN AND ASKED THEM TO PULL HER CASE, MY FRIEND FELL IN THE GUIDELINES OF 10 TO LIFE, THEY SAY IF THEY FELL IN THE LIFE RANGE THAT THEY WOULDN'T QUALIFY, BUT I HAVE YOU TO KNOW THE JUDGE IS REVIEWING AND HOPEFULLY MY FRIEND WILL BE COMING HOME, SO KEEP THE FAITH FOR YOUR MOM AND JUST TRY AND BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PUBLIC DEFENDERS OFFICE CALL AND ASK THEM QUESTION, DO THE SAME WITH THE PROBATION OFFICES AS WELL. IT WORKED FOR ME! THE PROBATION OFFICE AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC DEFENDERS OFFICE HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL TO US. GOOD LUCK! WILL KEEP YOU AND THE FAMILY IN PRAYER.
