If you’ve followed the criminal justice reform issue over the years, you probably know that much of the action — and probably the most important types of action — are occurring at the state level, often with even more bipartisanship than you’ve seen in Washington on that rare subject where bipartisanship hasn’t become extinct.
Like Cotton, Abraham was part of a minority of Republican members of Congress to vote against last year’s First Step Act, the package of prison reforms with a few key sentencing reforms added, which Donald Trump grudgingly backed at the last minute and then signed . You have to really be convinced of the demagogic power of law-and-order posturing to get to the right of our demagogic law-and-order president.
