On Saturday’s edition (http://upwithchrishayes.msnbc.msn.com/?videoDate=20120121)
of “Up With Chris Hayes,” Gary Johnson brought up an old Newt Gingrich (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-south-carolina-a-sharply-tightened-race/2012/01/21/gIQAS6JIGQ_story.html)
idea I hadn’t heard before: Putting individuals who brought more than two ounces of marijuana into the United States to death. That sounded extreme, even for Gingrich. So I looked it up. And sure enough, there it is: “The Drug Importer Death Penalty Act of 1996. (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h104-4170&tab=summary)
” What makes the bill even more amazing is that Gingrich himself is a confessed pot smoker. When he was young, he said, experimenting with drugs “was a sign we were alive and in graduate school in that era.”
Tell everybody! This is a bad guy
