labrys 0 #5 November 21, 2008 Quote I wish they would!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So... are you okay with "collateral damage" or not? You can't have it both ways. See your post from the DP thread below for example: Re: [kallend] Yet more good reasons for the death penalty. [In reply to] Quote | Reply Mistakes are sometimes made, John. Reversals of convictions - on grounds that the defendant actually didn't do it - do occur from time to time. A wrongful non-capital sentence can be reversed. A wrongful completed execution cannot. This is an area in which collateral damage is always unacceptable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Except in Texas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For once i agree with youOwned by Remi #?

tbrown 26 #22 January 20, 2009 Well, lots of moonshine and whacky-tobaccy, and a little bit o' LSD.... And some coke too, just for old time's sake. But I am also glad he commuted the sentences of the two Border Patrol officers who shot the dope dealer in the ass. That was not a full pardon by the way, it was a commutation of their sentences and technically they might not walk until March. They still have to pay fines and will be on probation for another 3 years. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 0 #24 January 20, 2009 I applaud Bush's clemency reflecting the reality that the US is overly harsh / zealous / draconian in its prosecution and punishment of drug & alcohol offenses. That being the case, however, if that's something he did recognize, I'm disappointed that he didn't have the political guts to offer that up as proposed legislation, and ask for bipartisan support. If anything, a Republican President should have an easier time than a Democrat with an approach like that on this issue. Is it really that hard to be GOP and publicly have a humane attitude about this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was this special to Bush, or do 20 year old drug convictions show up with Clinton and Bush in their final days too? And are we done with pardons, or can he put more in the mail before midnight (or noon today?) and still be valid when received? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
