“Nobody is currently in federal prison on a simple possession charge, officials said.”

...typical liberal tripe. All about BS gestures and feeling good.

I was wondering about that. I’m no libertarian pot-head, but I’ve long believed that at least 95% of the Federal criminal code should be abolished.

No, what he has done is earn himself a headline, and possibly convince the usually empty headed Dem of his compassion for people wrongfully incarcerated. Not bad really for an act of meaningless symbolism.

Well, you wouldn’t have to list a pardoned conviction when going for a job. That’s the biggest “benefit” from this.
