I don’t know, maybe the lives of people who get victimized by these Felons who were being locked up.

The First Step Act passed on a vote of 87 to 12, with dozens of Republicans, including longtime holdout Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), joining all 49 members of the Democratic caucus to approve legislation that even some GOP supporters fear could leave them vulnerable to charges of being soft on crime.

I found the text of the bill, but didn’t find the vote breakdown.

Again, law-abiding Americans get screwed royally. Shame on the President and all supporters of this fiasco. All in the name of claiming a “victory”. Big freaking joke. If these stooges had to pool their money to support future victims of early releasee fiends, the vote would have gone down in flames, 100-0.
