Isn’t this an admission that the US justice system is fundamentally unjust? Wouldn’t it be better if the judicial branch was functional and could update old unjust laws so there were zero people who needed their sentences commuting?
Laws have changed and he retroactively reduced sentences that were longer under the old laws. But yes, the reasoning for the change was that previous laws were unjust.
Incredible! That’s more sentences than Trump has even finished.
Presidents should not have pardon power. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, if the president can just trump the entire federal justice system, said system is pointless.
