Among those who had their sentences commuted by the president under the new "Catch and Release" program was Clarence Aaron of Mobile, Ala. ... who was sentenced in 1993 to life in prison for possession with intent to distribute cocaine ... and was justifiably pardoned because it is unfair to keep upstanding citizens like him in jail ... and because what he did wasn't all that bad ... really ... and because we need more people like him out on the street contributing to society!

Mandatory minimum sentences is wrong. Where is it in the constitution?
I watched a judge in a child support case tell the courtroom “Don’t blame me. I have to do what the statutes tell me to do. If you don’t like it, call your legislator.” Why have a judge and jury if the sentences are already decided?

One of those commuted, Reynolds Allen Wintersmith Jr., is a cousin of Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, a long-time political supporter of Obama.
Uh-huh. What an amazing coincidence. Simply amazing.
