I beg your Pardon (Biden pardons 39)

Even more remarkable that he can run a crime family when he sleeps most of the time. A true genius.

 

Does this? From the first Trump Administration.
The Trump administration gave Iran and Hezbollah a high-value terrorist prisoner but seems to have got next to nothing in return

 

Because if they are one color or another, they are innocent? Color make s people innocent?

 

It's always a comparison of numbers because you think this is a game of who can make more mistakes. Like one mistake absolves another mistake?

 

It affects jury bias and conviction rates but you already know that

 

That's nothing compared to djt. He managed to con 49.95% of the US voters into believing he gives a chit about them

 

I don’t who or know how they chose them all, but they could have done a better job

Those are pretty shitty since it sounds like those 2 deserve every second they were sentenced to and more. Hell an argument can be made public corruption on that level deserves the death penalty. Worse than a “crime of passion” homicide, actions like theirs over a longer period of time indicate a certain degree of sociopathy.

The clemency/pardon power is best used when the sentence is too harsh or doesn’t fit the crime (which has been the justification for a lot of low level drug offenders, both Obama and Biden paid a lot of attention to these with their pardons… and I think that’s mostly a good thing).

Those two got off particularly light since COVID rules already had them out of prison and instead on “house arrest”. Just another example of white collar criminals being treated differently and with kid gloves regardless of the harm they cause. Nothing new there.

 

Those who have been on house arrest since covid. Almost guaranteed all wealthy

 

Definitely. That Conahan guy is reprehensible, and deserves more time in jail (not House arrest), rather than less.

But then again, we just saw a corrupt judiciary conspire to protect a criminal from so much as seeing a fair trial for legitimate indictments. (See Clarence Thomas "creating precedent" for Aileen Cannon to cite, in her slow walking the case, and their obviously political quest to keep Trump from going to trial.)

So these pardons may have been misguided. But we're in a brand new era now : the judiciary on all levels exists not to enforce the law, but to enforce political ends. Like it or not.

And Trump supporters have the least right to complain.
