Ross? Yes.
You think locking him up for the rest of his life was fair punishment?
There is such a thing as excessive punishment. A lot of the J6ers have received it.
I don’t think anyone but a few hardcore quasi-anarchist libertarian types think Ulbricht didn’t do anything worth punishing. But you need punishment that fits the crime. That’s what the Eighth Amendment is about.
I think many would argue that in Ross Ulbricht’s case, the punishment was excessive. Trump is not offering to pardon him, merely to commute his sentence.
It’s worth noting that everyone else involved in teh Silk Road case got significant ly less time.
