YOU CAN'T JUDGE A POLITICIAN BY THE ACTIONS OF THEIR CHILDREN!!!! THIS IS A PERSONAL MATTER!!! Oh, it's not one of Sarah Palins kids this time? Then I guess it's okay again.
Didn't Joe Biden at one time argue for eliminating the sentencing disparities between the usage and possession of crack vs powder cocaine, pharmacologically identical drugs? Wonder if he'll treat his daughter equally and see her sentenced the same way blacks are for using crack... EDIT -- Found the Video. Yep, she should go to jail just like a crack ho would.

He was certainly calling for it in that video. So make him put his money where his mouth is and have his daughter be treated the same way a minority person would be for smoking crack.
Congress makes the laws. The executive enforces the laws. The judicial only interprets them. Do you have any idea how our constitution works or are you going to continue to make up functions of the government to support some sort of "point"? Though this is another example of parents not knowing what the fuck their kids are up to.
What was Senator Joe Biden, of the US Congress and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, doing before he was VP?
Isn't a 27 year old their own person by that point? Would you be okay with your parents interfering in your legal and personal matters tomorrow? How is your suggestion any less stupid than Michael Moore trying to get congressmen to enlist their grown children in the military?
Oh I don't know, one's a coercive action limiting the child's choice of occupation, and the other involves someone willfully breaking the law? Are you really comparing the two because it makes no sense whatsoever.
If you broke the law, would you rather be punished according to the law as it stands now, or would you rather be punished more severely because that's what your father thinks is best?
Yes, it's a shame Biden's bill didn't pass through Congress. So what you're saying then is she should be let off the hook? Free pass?
He should either support her being prosecuted, or publicly admit that his previous statements were full of fail and that incarcerating tens of thousands of people for drug use is idiotic and counterproductive, much like many people already realise.
I'm saying she should be treated the way she would if her last name was Smith instead of Biden. Nothing more, nothing less.
That would be some shit if she was even charged with a crime. So what they have video. Prove it was coke via the video. I dare ya. If you had video of me smoking weed, I would claim it was tobacco and leave it to whoever to prove it wasn't. I know what it looks like. it kinda fucked up Phelps. But being charged with a crime is a non-starter in these cases. I heard they were able to prosecute some folks in England with similar evidence. I doubt it could fly over here.
I think you heard wrong. You would need forensic evidence in order to meet the criminal law test of beyond reasonable doubt.
It's never been okay with me and I hope this bit of nothingness does not somehow lead you to believe exploiting the Alaskan Governor's children for political gain was a good thing.
Like those drug PSA where the kid says "I got it from you Dad!" when he's caught smoking weed he took from his dad's stash! Anywho, this just ads fuel to my theory that rich, powerful people are no better than any of us. Money buys you better things....and that's all it does. But here are some good excuses for his daughter: 1. It was powder from a donut. 2. She was doing research for a story she plans to publish soon. 3. It was a joke to be put on Youtube. The clip failed to show the Roomba riding kittens or the belching babies that appear later. 4. It was her evil twin, trying to make her look bad.
