Title edited for space. Full title:

"Obama to free hundreds of drug felons under clemency rules designed to un-do mandatory sentences from 'War on Drugs' era"

Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the administration would free convicts who would receive lighter sentences under today's guidelines

The White House set the stage for the move in December with a clemency trial balloon, freeing 8 convicts including 6 with life sentences

Democratic insiders see the move as a legacy-building recognition of a moral wrong that Obama can right before his presidency ends

Republicans counter that it's an election-year stunt meant to break Democratic voters' fixation on the Obamacare insurance system's failures

Here’s a hint:

casual pot users are NOT sent to FEDERAL PRISON!

He’s masking the release of some big time cartel types for some more illegal DNC campaign contributions.

They’ll get the votes of the released prisoners and their families—but how many other voters nationwide will this turn off?

I’m sure they’ll wrap this up in the guise of a compassionate righting of wrongs for unjustified length of sentences for non-violent offenders. Some lefties will buy it.

But millions of low information voters are just going to hear that Obama is emptying the prisons of his buddies in crime AND WILL BE INFURIATED AND COME OUT TO VOTE.

The worst part is that he is rewriting the law. Illegally. However bad the people are that he will be setting free things will be worse for the destruction of the rule of law he’s engaged in.

He’s actually an accomplice before the fact to all of he crimes they will commit, another impeachable offense.
