And all Congress does is pass more laws with stiffer mandatory sentences, so that with the 1995 crime bill, it is actually possible to get the death penalty for merely possessing a certain quantity of certain drugs.

Some of you in the room are stoned right now. I'm not guessing, it's just a simple fact. The rules have changed, is all. It's a little different than when I went to college.
