Durbin: D.C.'s Crime Bill Is 'a Balanced Approach'

On Wednesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," Senate Majority Whip Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) stated that the District of Columbia's criminal code takes "a balanced approach" to crime, "There are many parts" that he "would jump at if we could put them into the state of Illinois or on a federal basis," and that he opposes Congress invalidating the code and pre-empting a local government "in this situation" isn't wise.
