Don't Stack the Commission!

The Sentencing Guidelines Commission decides how long criminals stay in prison and guess what? Tim Walz wants to let them out sooner. Luckily, recent attempts to soften sentences have been thwarted by the judges who sit on the commission.

But now Walz is pushing through a bill (HF 2956/SF 3060) that would change how judges are appointed and create a spot for an “incarceration survivor,” giving him the ability to stack the commission with his cronies who will vote for weaker sentences.

This is a blatant power grab and an insult to victims of crime who expect consistent justice from our system.

Don't let Walz stack the commission!
