I suspect that the idea originally was to give some safety valve but if it is used more than a few times by a President, it makes a mockery of it and it should be removed as a power. How can a President ever decide that the entire legal process is flawed and their opinion is right? If the sentence was too long then change the sentencing guidelines.
I think Bidens family pardons are problematic as well. I can understand why he did it.
I dont understand the argument for pardoning Ross.
I think life with no parole was far to harsh.
