Sorry, Fox just wanted to be first out the gate I guess and didn't give any specifics.
A Bill # would have helped. So, anyone know what's in it? 

Lawmakers approved final passage 87-12. The measure now goes to the House, where it is expected to be approved quickly.

I have looked a little deeper into this and here is what I have found. The 12 nays were all GOP. Their basic reasoning was they felt some parts of the law were too easy on some criminals. The one thing that bothers me is 100% of senate democrats supported this bill. That, in and of itself is suspect.

Yeah, looks like squishies drove this through.

The legislation would give federal judges more discretion when sentencing some drug offenders and boosts prisoner rehabilitation efforts. It also would reduce life sentences for some drug offenders with three convictions, or "three strikes," to 25 years. Another provision would allow about 2,600 federal prisoners sentenced for crack cocaine offenses before August 2010 the opportunity to petition for a reduced penalty.

The changes were aimed at addressing concerns that the nation's war on drugs has exploded the prison population without helping people prepare for their return to society.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said the nation's prisons are full of Americans who are struggling with mental illness and addiction, and who are overwhelmingly poor. He said the nation's criminal justice system "feeds on certain communities and not on others," and said the bill represents a step toward "healing" for those communities.

"Let's make no mistake, this legislation, which is one small step, will affect thousands and thousands of lives," Booker said.

No you moron Booker, it kept communities safe, you just gutted that.
