Another Surprise from Rand Paul

While he doesn't want to legalize drugs, he is in favor of getting around the minimum mandatory sentencing that applies to most drug laws.  He thinks that some young people should not be put in jail for minor violations of the law.  His reasoning, “Look, the last two presidents could conceivably have been put in jail for their drug use. Look what would have happened. It would have ruined their lives,” he said. “They got lucky, but a lot of poor kids, particularly in the inner city, don’t get lucky. They don’t have good attorneys. They go to jail for these things, and I think it’s a big mistake.”
