Most of those people deserved a pardon. It is
ridiculous that so many people were getting 20
to life sentences for non violent drug offenses.

But he only pardoned a microscopic subset of those.

It seems to be a tradition tho. Every outgoing president has a
dose of conscience on his last day and pardons a bunch of them.

Because it makes the pardoning of their own criminals
like Bannon look a little more plausible for fools like you.

I don't give a **** about Bannon either way. He was busted for
scamming people dumb enough to send Trump money for his wall.


It is really ironic that a lot of these people are
in prison for selling pot in a state where you
can buy it over the counter legally now.

Yes, and that's why slick pardoned all the draft dodgers.

That was Carter but I guess they were both goober governors before
they went to the white house. I can see how you got confused.


It is still against the federal law.

Federal law is irrelevant, they don't have the jurisdiction.

Tell that to those people in federal prison for drugs.
There is a huge agency (the DEA) that does nothing but arrest people
breaking an unconstitutional law.
