Roger Simon's heart bleeds for Joe Biden's daughter. He thinks that she is not fair game, even though her father has had no problem passing laws which have damaged property rights and ruined countless lives in the name of preventing people from getting high. This is my comment that I left on PJM, and I post it here in the event that it gets censored or deleted.
With all due respect, all of you, from Roger Simon, to the commenters, who believe that we should lay off her are full of it. Here we have the daughter of a man who has spent much of his congressional career creating laws which have ruined the lives of countless people just like her, have contributed to the wild expansion of our prison population and perpetuated the destruction of civil liberties and property rights (you should read some of Biden's proposals). This is a man who has no problem ruining the life of your daughter or your son, over what this woman did.
She should be arrested, prosecuted under the worst drug laws and sentenced to a 20-30 year sentence like tens of thousands of people, especially black men, get every year under laws that Biden helped to create or actually wrote. It is only fitting that she fall on the sword that her father has used to damage so many lives and undermine American civil liberties. It is only fitting that he should have to watch as his daughter is subjected to the same sort of penalties that this callous, self-righteous son of a bitch has no problem inflicting on others.
You may say she should not be punished for her father's actions, but she has helped her father's career. Not only that, but the only way to make drug warriors appreciate the human element of the laws they support and aggressively demand to be enforced is for their kids to be punished as severely as any of the rest of us or our children would be under the law.
I have little doubt that this will disappear, that no prosecutor will dare to touch her. That is precisely why she needs to be prosecuted. The moral hazard issue with the way that drug laws apply only to the average American, not the elites who vigorously support them so as to maintain a powerful state, are a key part of why we are losing so many liberties from property rights, to surveillance rights, to self-defense rights in the name of the war on drugs. The only way to temper this is to make them feel the same pain that ordinary people experience.
