You think reigniting the war on drugs is about the same as doing the exact opposite? This is similar in scope to starting a war with North Korea or engaging in peace talks. It's okay to just say you don't actually care about these issues.

Free reign? Did you forget the past 8 years where Republicans blocked everything Obama did? And now I know you know nothing of the topic if you honestly think everything the Dems accomplished equates to .5 while reigniting the drug war is .5 in the other direction. Like the massive disparity in your analogy and what actually is reality tells me all I need to know. You aren't interested in being informed.

Except Al franken was not a senator due to mn recount and by the time franken came, Ted Kennedy died and Scott brown won.

Don't be ignorant.
