Judges already have the authority to impose long prison sentences. and this case proves they actually do. It is troubling that the majority leader is seeking a vote on this punitive. partisan bill. instead of working to pass the meaningful criminal justice reform legislation that has strong bipartisan support. It is yet another example of his willingness to put politics above real solutions. The problems plaguing our immigration system demand that we respond thoughtfully and responsibly. We can do better. We owe it to the American public to do better. I urge Senators to vote against cloture on these partisan bills that will not make us safer.
