5. New Jersey Senator Cory Booker

Senator Cory Booker is a well-known advocate for the legalization of marijuana. So it should come as no surprise that he spoke out against Sessions after the announcement. This co-sponsor of the CARERS Act had this official statement about the latest anti-pot and anti-progress move from the Trump administration:

History has shown that our deeply broken drug laws disproportionately harm low-income communities and communities of color and cost us billions…without making us any safer. This unjust, backwards decision is wrong for America, and will prove to be on the wrong side of history.
