If this doesn't put the stake in heart of Huckabee’s political aspirations what will?

Always thought the guy was a RINO so my instincts are still good.

I had heard of his clemency problem before. I suppose it was only a matter of time until something like this took place.

Clemency should be used very rarely. A lot goes into a conviction. A sitting governor cannot expect to understand a case as well as the prosecutors and original jurors.

If we’re going to commute sentences at will, what good is our system of justice. It said over 700 times to Huckabee and company that the justice system got it wrong. Do they really think the courts are that screwed up?

The court system may not be perfect, but I sure don’t know of a better system to replace it.
