How Huckabee-an of him.
He should either pardon all (or mostly all, there might be some marijuana convicts who deserve to be in prison for other reasons)... or none.
After ten years out (after the sentence or prison time)...I don’t see an issue with giving everyone a pardon. Doesn’t cost anyone pain or suffering....and it doesn’t change the punishment they got in the first-place.
Areal man wouldn’t do it, just a girlie man.
It’s great to be King.
Who s the Governor??
The exception might be a hardened criminal they could only get for pot.
It’s good to be the king.
