It was actually four, and all four are sitting in the Senate Judiciary Committee right now.

- S.2550, with one co-sponsor (Harry Reid), "Civil Rights Voting Restoration Act of 2014" was introduced on June 26, 2014.

- S. 2567, with two co-sponsors (Dems Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand), " Record Expungement Designed to Enhance Employment Act of 2014" (aka the "REDEEM Act) was introduced on July 8, 2014.

- S. 2657, with no co-sponsors, "Reclassification to Ensure Smarter and Equal Treatment Act of 2014" (aka the "RESET Act), was introduced on July 24, 2014.

-S. 2644., with no co-sponsors, "Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration Act of 2014" (aka the "FAIR Act"), was introduced on July, 23, 2014.

The Senate was in recess from August 9th through September 8th, and recessed again on Sept. 18th and will not be meeting in general session again until November 12th.

Not sure this intern understands the time involved in the legislative process.

Two bills relating to criminal justice system reformation were introduced in the Senate in 2013 and finally voted out of committee in 2014 (March 11th to be exact). Both were placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar but have not yet seen action on the floor. Both have Democratic primary sponsors but have a pretty equal bi-partisan list of co-sponsors.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has only voted 7 bills out of committee in 2014, including the two just mentioned. One was a joint House-Senate Resolution , and the other six had Democratic primary sponsors - not only were they Dems, by the way, but all are current members of - you guessed it - the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are members of that Committee.

For the many in here who constantly beat the "Dems and Republicans are exactly the same" drum, do you seriously believe for one minute that this would be happening if this Senate committee, as well as all of the others, had Republican majorities and thus the ability to move along GOP-sponsored legislation?

Note: None of Rand's four bills have even one Republican co-sponsor, not even close allies Cruz or Lee. If 70-80% of the public supported the bills, as the intern attests, why would no other Senator of either party not jump on board, thus garnering voter support for himself/herself?

This starry-eyed intern, Stanford pedigree or nor, admits that Rand is his "idol" - and thus his vision is blurred. Not sure six weeks was enough time to assimilate him to the real world outside of Santa Clara County.
