MERE PANDERING

At a time when the U.S. is trying to get rid of mandatory minimums, 
here come the Conservatives with the same tired, old cliche of a drug policy

They are reversing the small steps taken over the last 30 years to 
lighten up on victimless crime.

No one would complain if the Conservatives focused on gang violence 
or organized crime.

This is pandering, and there used to be a law against that.
