    “Joe Biden’s decision is a clear gross abuse of power. He, and his supporters, have blood on their hands.”

    By not killing people? Are they actually insane? I’m guessing just disingenuous bc the whole framing they’re doing glosses over the fact that these convicts are still going to do life without parole.

      Yup. The reason most of them are on death row is it takes literally decades of litigation before someone can be put to death (a good thing). By commuting their sentences Biden is saving the taxpayers millions.
