Expect the Left's howling to start anytime now.
Of course, if Bush would have pardoned FALN Puerto Rican terrorists and cocaine kingpins, then this wouldn't have been news at all.

Somehow, I don't think any of these folks were big contributors to his re-election campaign.

The pardon for the marijuana conviction guy may pull a few Nader votes in November.

How does the President determine who deserves a pardon?

hmmmmm.....that lady with the 240 got a little help ....better late than never.
W should pardon all folks with second amendment loss who are not currently in jail or on parole or probation....the way the original laws intended.

Personally, I wouldn't pardon anyone unless I could be convinced that justice was misapplied. I certainly wouldn't use it as a way to help any cronies. If you did the crime, do the time.

Well since we don't allow for expungement for good behavior the pardon system is the only real way of getting your record clear of crime that follows you for the rest of your life. And prevents you in many cases from getting a decent job.
If you live clean for so many years after your crime your rights should be restored and your record should be expunged. And this should be the law of the land except for maybe the very worst of crimes.
