    It’s still insane that politicians are involved AT ALL in the justice system.

      The pardon is a last-ditch effort at justice. I’m fine with it.

      POTUS can only waive off on federal crimes, the states still have hold on their own convictions. And even then, the governor can pardon.

      Even if abused now and again, it’s still good for the broader system.
