“The Justice Safety Valve Act (Senate Bill 619), introduced in the spring, and the Smart Sentencing Act (Senate Bill 1410), introduced just last week, have better prospects of moving forward now than anything since the Fair Sentencing Act passed three years ago. That’s because it’s not just Democrats or liberals who are supporting them. The Justice Safety Valve Act, sponsored by Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), has not only the usual suspects behind it, but also The New York Times, conservative taxpayer advocate Grover Norquist, and a group of 50 former prosecutors.”
