Where do we draw the line on that?

I think if we try to cut back on some of the Federal crimes, people who have persuaded Congress or the bureaucrats to put something on the statutes are going to be screaming quite loudly.

There are some crimes that I think are better prosecuted at the State level and using State resources, and we don't need to send the FBI out on everything that really can be better handled by local police and local prosecutors.

I think you have hit the nail on the head, on what this problem is.

Well, now we have found where there is policy agreement, so let's keep on with this roll.

The criminal code is a mess.

The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., a Representative in Congress from the State of Wisconsin, and Chairman, Over-Criminalization Task Force of 2014.

I think this effort will go down in flames, just like the previous ones.

One of my goals in this effort is to try to avoid the traps of having an omnibus revision of the criminal code becoming a debate on numerous criminal justice policies.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brandon.

This change moves us back toward the pre-9/11 approach.
