I read with amusement the guest contribution from Sen. Rand Paul that took issue with a recent writer's opinion published in the Courier-Journal. Its fine and dandy thatPaul has supposedly been working with other senators to help reduce sentencesfor non-violent drug offenders, end mandatory minimum sentences, help expunge criminal records, restore voting rights, etc. These are all worthwhile and admirable endeavors. In his response, he failedto address the main point of the whole op-edarticle. How could someone advocate for the reformsPaulmentions still vote to confirm a person like Sen. Jeff Sessions as Attorney General? Sessions is totally opposed to everything that Paul stated that he has been working to improve. Sen. Paul, how could you in good conscience do that or are you just another unprincipled politician?
