  Pardoning crimes is a fucked precedent. When someone is found guilty in a fair trail it can be overruled on the whims of a single person? The US has the strangest idea of justice.

    Got to have some safety net in place in case the courts erroneously decide to rule in favor of the poors on occasion.

      From what I’ve seen lately, those are not the people it seems to be helping.

      I 100% agree that pardoning has its place, but it’s clearly turned into another instance of abuse.
