Pardon him completely!
Pardon/commute ... we don’t know all the ramifications of the two actions.
What we DO know is that Gov. Christie rid New Jersey of an idiot judge and he righted a wrong.
Chris Christie is one of the very rarest of government officials: he will do the right thing, regardless of the political consequences.
God bless you, Governor, and Merry Christmas!
I’m even a bit uncomfortable with a Pardon. That still implies that he was guilty of something.
In a perfect world, I’d like to see Aitken be found not guilty in a retrial.
Still, I give Christie a lot of credit for what he did. It would have been very easy for him to keep Aitken imprisoned, and claim it’s a “public safety” issue.
Damn straight. "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"... This is not rocket surgery.
