It could happen...

Surprised it took so long...

Heard on the radio today, that privately, several Dems are upset with this one.

And they plan to....what?

[Jolly]

Do nothing, I would suspect.

[Mik]

Be upset. But man, he is providing enough Willie Hortons to last for decades.

[George K]

Take comfort in the fact that the murderers are not going to be released.

Right?

RIGHT???

[Mik]

Clemency was never intended to be used in this manner. Totally inappropriate. If you can convince the legislature to abolish capital punishment, great. All for it. But not like this.

I don’t think so. He could pardon them for past violations of immigration law, but that wouldn’t change their immigration status. They’d be illegal again tomorrow.

[Mik]

It might protect them from prosecution but not deportation.
