On the recordFebruary 10, 1995
I think we have reached an area where we are talking about micromanaging States as it relates to bail and other issues. This is an issue for the Congress to talk about, because it is a national issue; I think just as any other national issue, we do have standing in putting certain qualifications on the States, being it is a country issue, it is an issue of the United States as a whole, and just as there was a bubonic plague in this country at one point, we cannot expect one State to give inoculations and the others not to. This is just as bad as a disease plague, this crime. We have to treat it across this whole country in the same way in order to have a national effect, and unless I am wrong, I think we do have standing in telling the States that they should be doing this in concert with all the States.
