Republican South Carolina Senator Tim Scott unveiled legislation today that hopes to address the recent calls for reform of the nation’s law enforcement. Democratic Illinois Senator Dick Durbin wasn’t feeling the legislation and referred to the Senator as a “token half-hearted approach” when Scott reminded Durbin of recently wearing Ghana’s Kente cloth.

While I appreciate Scott’s witty banter and feel that he was making a earnest effort, I am in agreement with Senator Durbin that the JUSTICE Act isn’t progressive enough in light of recent events.
