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.

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

Right?

RIGHT???

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.
