Re: the Laken Riley Act, my general belief is that criminal justice related-bills that are named after someone are fundamentally flawed. They may be well-intentioned, but they are knee-jerk reactions to horrific crimes that typically a) don't address the underlying problem, and/or b) are so overbroad that they harm innocent people, civil rights, etc. However, they usually get passed based primarily on the emotion surrounding them. Let's pass smart bills, not ones based in emotion, and certainly don't vote for it because you're afraid that someone will attack you for being against the Laken Riley bill. Grow a pair Dems.
