#1 and not all were "non-violent drug possession" offenders. There were illegal weapons possession, violent offenders among the mix...but it's OK, because they were in the favored race and classes

#6 The Pardon power of the Presidency is an obscure but potentially disastrous tool for an Imperial President. Envisioned as a last option to right governmental wrongs, it has increasingly been exercised for purely political motives. If it has no limits, and no check, it's impact might be destabilizing (imagine a blanket pardon for immigration crimes). I fear Champ may offer us the opportunity to explore this potentially fatal error in our founding documents?

#11 I wonder how many of those non-violent offenses were plea-bargained down from something more heinous for the purpose of a quick conviction.

#12 I guess it's a case of "There, but for the grace of G*d, go I"
