1.20 - Mandatory Minimums

Episode Number - 120
Original Airdate - May 3, 2000
Written by - Aaron Sorkin
Directed by - Robert Berlinger


A newly energised President Bartlet bucks tradition and throws down the gauntlet when he names two Democrats, both campaign finance reformers, to the Federal Election Commission despite threats from his political opponents to introduce embarrassing legislation that would dare him not to sign. Early reactions to his announcement are not encouraging, especially from top-notch pollster Al Kiefer (John de Lancie). However, Kiefer's arrival means his attractive cohort, Joey Lucas (Oscar-winning Marlee Matlin), accompanies him, and she again draws a smitten Josh's attention. Toby agrees to seek out his ex-wife (Kathleen York), a breezy congresswoman, to gauge her response to any future narcotics legislation that would emphasize prevention over enforcement. Leo, uncomfortably aware of his own brush with drugs, agrees to be the Chief Executive's front man for positioning the high-voltage issue of revising the drug laws.
