President Biden is commuting the sentences of nearly all the inmates on federal death row, a move that comes not even two weeks after he went through with the "largest single-day grant of clemency" in American history, the White House announced Monday.

Of the 40 inmates on federal death row, according to DeathPenaltyInfo.org, Biden is commuting 37 men sentenced to death, reclassifying their sentences to life without the possibility of parole.

It’s worthwhile skimming through the list of scum Biden is saving, unless your BP medication isn’t working properly.

It’s surprising he didn’t release them and give them a cookie.

If it is now admitted that Biden is not playing with a full deck shouldn’t Congress look into just who is actually doing this in Biden’s name?

Congress is unavoidably Constitutionally feeble when we as a nation arrive at certain situations.

This being a great example of one of those situations!

Congress? You mean that institution populated with elected representatives, many of whom themselves aren't playing with a full deck?

Our vaunted constitutional system of government -- which nominal "conservatives" seem to almost worship, if perhaps rather idolatrously so -- simply doesn't work in the way you'd like it to work in this instance. Biden is President, and what's done here is done. Period. Full stop. End of effing story. Sorry, but them's the facts, jack.

Congress should probably take it up in committee sometime during the next term. See what might be done to avoid Wilson/Biden-style shenanigans in the future. Maybe propose a Constitutional amendment.

Yes, indeed. That's just how the Framers wrote it up. For better or worse.

Well, you just keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better.

The copium is strong in this one.

One heinous criminal raped and killed two little girls,(younger than 12), then killed a young woman in the navy. He didn’t commute the sentence of the Boston Bomber, or the killer of the prayer group meeting in a church.

What you say seems dead right.

But filtered through the lens of positive Constitutional law, it probably doesn’t ‘win the day’, so to speak.

if you dont like our constitution, and yes i revere it as the best form of gov ever invented..you can MOVE to any other utopia of your choice

( a choice other citizens of other countries like N.K. dont have )

and the only impediment is the grifters and commies and those who despise our constitution and hate those who “ worship” it.

Why not do the same for the synagogue murderer? Blowback?? Have you seen how many Democrats truly hate Jews?

Why not do the same for the black churchgoers murderer? Blowback?? Have you seen how eager Democrats are to kill black babies?

Why not do the same for the Boston marathon bomber? Blowback?? Have you seen how many Democrats want to reduce the population to save mother earth?

The Big Guy’s puppet masters will be tossing stink bombs until 11:59AM on 1/20. And they’ll be laughing hysterically as they toss each one.

13 “What have you done? . . . You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you. 14 Now your (rule) will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command.”
