Biden, or whoever is running the White House, should be ashamed.
President Joe Biden, or whoever is running the White House, grotesquely abused the pardon power, yet again.
Biden commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 of the prisoners on federal death row in response to the lobbying of opponents of the death penalty, keeping intact his nearly unbroken record of bending to left-wing pressure groups while in office.
Biden, or whoever is running the White House, put out a statement averring that the president has long been committed to “ensuring a fair and effective justice system.” Even if true, this is a non sequitur, since there’s nothing to suggest the handling of all these cases was unfair.
