I’m sure everyone in Gitmo would be on his list.
Oh geez I forgot about this. The Kenyan is probably going to pardon as many Jihadists as he can and then blame it on Bush.
They will have to ramp up the bureau of engraving and printing to put together the paperwork for the pardons needed for those in his administration and his cronies on his subsidy lists.
... so we will, just because it might be useful to bash something.
She is black, like so many other victims of the federal system's oversize boot.
There - see how that works?
If you have lived clean for a certain period of time your rights should be restored. Even if you are a felon.
Federal drug laws are unconstitutional, period, FReepers supporting them and thereby giving the left cover to abuse the *Interstate* Commerce Clause for regulating everything notwithstanding.
If I were President, I would declare the drug laws as such and pardon all federal simple drug offenses. That’s almost as good as the Supremne Court doing so.
Not only that but in the 3 months AFTER he loses the election, he will rack up the most pardons in history (including pardoning himself). Since he is NOT a qualified President under the articles of the US Constitution's requirement of citizenship, his EOs as well as all pardons (including his) will be null and void.
I don't expect impeachment will happen during the lame duck secession but I DO expect he will be brought before a court of law after he leaves office and the DOJ under President Romney will rule the imposter-in-chief guilty of high treason. Even if we don't win a majority in the senate, the crime will be so HUGE everything (especially Obamacare) will be struck down.
Folks, this is going to be historic to say the least.
My first Obama pardon prediction that will piss alot of people off:
Mumia Abu-Jamal
bfl
A felon allowed to become a lawyer? And lawyers wonder why they’re so deeply despised by the American people.
What if its found that Obama cannot legally pardon anyone?
I guess the joke will be on them big time.
But 15 years? That hard time was a function of a federal mandatory minimum system that overly punishes women who foolishly refuse to testify against their drug dealer boyfriends. “If mandatory minimum sentencing did not exist, no judge in America, including me, would have ever sentenced Ms. Nunn to 15 years in prison based on her role in the conspiracy, her age and the fact that she had no prior criminal convictions before the instant offense,” sentencing Judge David Doty later wrote to Clinton.
Perhaps she should become an advocate for young women and warn them of the dangers of hanging out with drug dealing losers.
