Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing Scheduled on
Webb Bill to Overhaul Americaâs Criminal Justice System
National Criminal Justice Commission Act charges comprehensive
 review of system, concrete solutions for reform
Washington, DC â On Thursday, June 11, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs will hold a hearing on Senator Webbâs legislation to comprehensively review and reform the nationâs criminal justice system. The hearing entitled âExploring the National Criminal Justice Commission Act of 2009,â will host a number of experts in the field to discuss the need for such legislation. Senator Webb will participate in the hearing.
On March 26, Webb introduced S.714 to create a blue-ribbon commission charged with conducting an 18-month, top-to-bottom review of the nationâs entire criminal justice system and offering concrete recommendations for reform. The legislation has received widespread bipartisan support and has 29 cosponsors in the Senate, including Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) and Ranking Member Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Judiciary Committee member Senator Orrin G Hatch (R-UT).
In the 110th Congress, Webb chaired two hearings of the Joint Economic Committee that examined various aspects of the criminal justice system. In October of 2008, he conducted a symposium on drugs in America at George Mason University Law Center.
The hearing will be webcast online at the Senate Judiciary Committee website. The watch live, please go to: http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/hearing.cfm?id=3906

Watch Me on the Colbert Report
You Can Make a Difference |
I recently appeared on the Colbert Report, Comedy Centralâs popular political satire news show. You can watch the interview here. This appearance is part of our ongoing campaign to open the debate about drug policy in this country -- you might have also seen me recently on CNN and Fox. You know as well as I do that real change won't come until there's an open and honest public debate about drug policy in the United States.You also know that real lives in real communities are on the line. I hope you'll join me in making sure this debate is opened now. Will you donate $50.00 or more to help expand the public debate on drug policy? Your efforts to change the conversation about drugs are making a difference. Congressional leaders and the president are close to eliminating the unfair sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. Now is the time to push our issues to the forefront. We are well positioned to capitalize on this new energy and cannot miss this major opportunity to dismantle the drug war! Give today to keep us moving forward in this fight. Very truly yours, |
