I agree: 2, 3, and 5 are laudable goals.

1 and 4 I would be opposed to.

Stupid to have a 'policy' for US Senate candidate for what many of these are: the police power issues of the individual states.

Btw, for those not knowing, in federalism issues, 'police power' doesnt mean guys in blue uniforms throwing gangbangers around. It means the issue of the inherent sovereign power of a state as opposed to the power of the Federal government.

Federal government has every right to define, or end for that matter, their use of private prisons. It is idiotic for someone to campaign for Federal office saying that he wants to end the practice everywhere en toto. Unicorns and fairy dust.

Or it is an indication who thinks that the the power of the Federal government should be responsible for defining each and every inherent state power everywhere. Thats well beyond idiotic.
