More smart on crime – this time from the west wing

Tonight’s episode of The West Wing dealt with mandatory minimums and judicial discretion, with some very powerful moments. The episode included a scene with a fictional character from a real, and important organization: Families Against Mandatory Minimums.
At one point, President Bartlet said

If we’re going to be tough on crime, we must first learn to be smart on crime.

Ah, if only the real President would say that!
