Use his power as AG to remedy mandatory minimum abuses
The Issue
"Because Mandatory Minimums make opaque what the law was to make transparent. They strip criminal defendants of due process rights we consider fundamental to our justice system. Too many nonviolent, low-level defendants "lose their claim to a future" as AG Holder once stated, because lengthy mandatory prison terms sweep reasonable, innovative and promising alternatives off the table at sentencing." quoting U.S.District Judge John Gleason
