He is being a political opportunist coming out with this proposal and others during an election cycle. If he had truly given a damn he had seven years to fix the plight of those imprisoned in this country. He had seven years to fix a lot of things but didn&#x27;t. Since Republicans are portrayed as tough on crime this is being tossed out to put them in a lose lose situation. Don&#x27;t even for once take any actions by any political figure in the US as anything less than political opportunism. Seven years, two of which they had near complete control of the government. Yet what did they do to improve the plight of those incarcerated, end the war on drugs, civil forfeiture, or countless other oppression of the people by the law enforcement industry? Hell he has waited till recently to finally close Gitmo. Applaud, more than shame him for wasting seven years
