        @SenRandPaul You'd do a much more effective job by getting rid of the 1,000s of nebulous laws defining ordinary acts as federal crimes.

        @SenRandPaul @AwakeDeborah Todays 'ordinary acts' in crime seem to be the norm..not crimes anymore? This world is an abomination with crime

        @SenRandPaul @AwakeDeborah I think the rise in horrible crimes makes that prison population soar. The world is a very different place.

        @SenRandPaul @instapundit Simultaneity doesn't prove causation. Mad Cow Disease found about the same time. Did #MandatoryMinimum cause that?

        @SenRandPaul but mandatory minimums are suitable for violent crimethat isn't self defense.

        @SenRandPaul If only criminals would let crime alone, maybe the mandatory sentencing wouldn't apply t them.
