"Holder said the nation "must confront the reality" that once "people of color" are in the criminal justice system, they "often face harsher punishments than their peers." He called it "unacceptable," "shameful" and "unworthy" of the U.S. legal tradition."
I wish he'd also confront the reality that the drug war needs to end entirely and immediately, with all non-violent drug war inmates pardoned and their records expunged. I suspect though that he and Obama are just good at reading the tea leaves as opposed to any kind of meaningful leadership. But we'll take what we can get. Bravo.
