Drug WarRant has a lot of great stuff Monday--from pain doctors criticizing the drug warriors to the Rocky Mountain News railing on the DEA:

Oh, it's good to be the king. You float high above the law and plunder your subjects with impunity.

To the link to the transcript of last night's mandatory minimum segment on 60 minutes. A sample:

"Judges throughout the country, of all political persuasions, feel that they have to have discretion so that they can do justice in the individual cases," says Martin, who is resigning from the bench.

"It is unjust. It's taking people who are low-level violators and putting them in jail for 15-20 years. I had a situation where a defendant was an addict. He sat on his stoop. People came to him and said, 'Do you know where I can buy some crack?' He told them about an apartment where there was crack being sold. For this, the people who sold it every once in a while gave him some crack for his own personal use. The guideline range for that man was 16 years in jail. That doesn't seem to me like justice."

We hope you are reading the Rant every day. We do.
