So, why should non-criminals care about criminal justice reform? Because the ever growing creep of law enforcement in criminalizing behavior that shouldn't be treated as crimes. The fact that once you get sucked into the system, a cynical group of people who only care about maintaining their stats prosecute people to the fullest extent possible. Crime's not what it used to be, and the system is now making criminals out of normal citizens to perpetuate itself.

Obama has 2 more years to criminalize all who aren’t on the left.

Because, you ARE a criminal. Given the huge number, and vague wording of State and Federal laws, it is likely you commit one or more felonies every day.

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." --Ayn Rand
