Paul: ‘I’m with’ Obama ‘on a Lot of the Criminal Justice Reform’

‘I’m with him on a lot of of the criminal justice reform’

BLITZER: “And now, President Obama says he is going to order federal employers to ban the boxes, which is the box that the asks job applicants if they have a felony job application, because he says it makes it too difficult for prisoners who have served their time, and want to the start over to get a job with the federal government. are you with him on that?”
PAUL: “I’m with him on a lot of of the criminal justice reform, and on individual companies advising them the do it voluntarily, and yes, I'm for that, but for the federal government doing it, mostly yes. There can always be an exception to the rule, but obviously, federal child care and things like that, and there have to be more stringent rules on who has to be hired, but a guy who smoked pot or sold marijuana when they were 20 years old deserve a second chance and I’m a big believer in is second chances, so if we want to allow them to be employed and let them go away and particularly in non-violent crime.”
