They don't care if courts and attorneys are needlessly overburdened. They don't care if defendants are separated from their families and/or lose their jobs due to incarceration for petty non-violent crimes.

They don't really care about public safety. If they did, they would increase funding for local law enforcement instead of cutting it, which they did.

If the health and safety of the American people was a priority, they wouldn't put a deranged crackpot in charge of HHS or destroy FEMA while disasters from catastrophic climate change are on the rise.

We all know what their #1 priority is:
Carry out the dictates of Mad King Donald in an authoritarian consolidation of power intended to last far beyond his reign.
