As If We Needed One

Radley Balko has another reason to fear an Obama/Biden presidency--increasing federalization of crime:

Since the vice-presidential pick, Obama and Biden have embraced criminal justice policies geared toward a larger federal presence in law enforcement, a trend that started in the Nixon administration and that has skewed local police priorities toward the slogan-based crime policies of Congress, like "more arrests" and "stop coddling criminals."

Wonderful.
