.. I expect him to pardon each and every black person in every jail and prison in the USA ..

2DV, that might prove 'interesting' for those of us living near Fed facilities like Lewisburg et al,
but it's my understanding that such pardons as you allude to are not applicable to sentences imposed under state law/s.

.. and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

Art.2 Sec.2

The good thing Perdue is so unpopular in North Carolina she isn't even thinking about run for reelection.

The democratic party has imploded in the last few weeks over a Democratic Leader having sex with another minor male and covered up by the party.

But that means he can still pardon every black federal prisoner with the stroke of a pen? How many individuals do you think that might amount to? And what do you think that would do to the crime statistics going forward?
