Prosecutors have political lobbies.

So too do prison guards and their unions.

You would be hard pressed to find a union that represents prison guards which has supported ANY kind of political reform to laws. Legalization, even changes to traffic laws, prison guard unions and their members almost exclusively vote against.

Just for two examples.



No no, the claim was that there are people who are trying to "make laws better."

No one disagrees with doing that. They might disagree on what "better" means, and in particular better for whom. But 95%+ of the disagreement on these is not because one side is evil and the other is not.
