“While the focus among vaunted ‘civil libertarians’ is the resentencing and mandatory minimums, the fact is that the Hammonds should never have been prosecuted to begin with.

They currently control more than 80 percent of Nevada; approximately half of California, Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, and New Mexico; 42 percent of Wyoming; 36 percent of Colorado; and 30 percent of Washington and Montana. And they want more.”
