“It’s just absurd to cripple people who have done everything you’ve asked of them,” she said, adding that the issue was also a matter of public safety. “When people can’t work, what do these geniuses who wrote this language think they’re going to do? They’re going to return to crime, return to addiction, all the things they’ve done the hard work to get away from.”
