senators, republican and democrat, went down to washington along with the police chief of the state's largest city to testify before the judiciary committee in d.c. senator cruz, you're a member of that committee. the police chief called your absence outrageous given the severity of the problem. last week, though, you told a personal story of a close family member struggled with addiction. what can you say to law enforcement right now to convince them that you understand the severity of this problem and you're not just saying what people want to hear
