    Basically leftist have come around to the idea the death penalty is absolutely wrong unless they determine who is worthy to live or die. Currently those who have a hate crime tagged to their sentence should die.

    Why does the leftist mentality remind me more and more of the religious fanatic's found in the middle east?

    At this point, he should just pardon the entire prison population and solve our prison crisis.

    Learn the difference between commuting and pardoning.

    Regarding Biden’s Mass Mercy For Convicted Murderers

    https://ethicsalarms.com/2024/12/23/regarding-bidens-mass-mercy-for-convicted-murderers/

    excerpt:

    1. As with most public grandstanding regarding the death penalty, the 37 commutations made no sense, particularly in the context of the statement attributed to the President. The act and statement were also cowardly. If the intention was to “stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level,” then why didn’t Biden “stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level” as long as he could by commuting the sentences of all those on federal death row? His pardon power act did not save three federal prisoners awaiting execution: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of two brothers responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013; Dylann Roof, the insane White nationalist who massacred nine people at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015; and Robert Bowers, who killed 11 worshippers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018.

    This is the typical hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty of anti-death penalty cult. It purports to be an absolutist movement, but its adherents, like “Biden” here, do not want to be bothered by inconvenient things like integrity, consistency, logic or courage. The sentiment is “It is wrong for the government to play God and kill any human being…except when I think that a particular human being should be an exception.” I am sure someone will do research into who the order has spared, and we will see other multiple murderers, people who killed without remorse and with extreme cruelty, vicious psychopaths who killed for the fun of it, or who murdered children, or who slaughtered their victims after rape or torture. These don’t warrant executions, Biden says on behalf of the Wonderful Woke who refuse to acknowledge that there is a point where an individual has forfeited the benefits of civilization, but the single factor of “hate” elevates murder from really, really bad to intolerable.

    Oh. If you say so.

    Those three villains were spared because the Democratic Party lacks the guts and integrity to risk the certain public backlash if it included them in its hypocritical “capital punishment is always wrong” pander.

    2. Among the categories of murderers spared by Biden’s commutations are those who killed prison guards or other inmates. This means, in effect, that convicts already in prison for life have license to murder anyone they encounter in prison without penalties—after all, you can only be executed once. The 8th Amendment prevents the “kill anyone else and your execution method will be changed from lethal injections to being gnawed to death by rabid squirrels” deterrence policy.

    You should learn all your party does is help criminals. A potential lifetime pardon for Hilary Clinton? Pathetic

    Biden has done more damage to the integrity of the legal system of the USA than any President in history. His corruption and lack of ethics, as well as the cooperation of so many deranged liberal lawyers, judges, and DAs enabled all of this.

    The good news is that most of American saw it and rejected it. Still a lot of people that are under the media spell though -- for now. It simply takes some people longer to admit they were duped.

    I guess not everyone's happy with Biden's Pardonapalooza

    Murdered woman’s family slams Biden for commuting killer’s death sentence: ‘Shown no mercy’

    https://nypost.com/2024/12/24/us-ne...s-biden-for-commuting-killers-death-sentence/

    excerpt:

    “I was angry. I’m still angry. I am upset that this is even happening, that one man can make this decision without even talking to the victims, without any regard for what we’ve been through, what we’re going through, and completely hurt, frustrated and angry,” Major’s daughter Heather Turner said Tuesday on “Fox & Friends.”

    “She was shown no mercy at all. This man walked into the bank, never said two words to her. Shot her three times in total. He went and shot her coworker, Katie Skeen as well, who was totally defenseless and unaware of anything happening,” Major’s husband, Danny Jenkins, added during the show.

    December 24, 2024
    "Biden did the right thing granting clemency to 37 federal death row inmates."

    Writes Russ Feingold (at The Hill).

    With this courageous action, President Biden has lived up to his promise as the first president to openly oppose capital punishment and secured his legacy as a champion of racial justice, compassion, and fairness.

    If he's truly opposed to capital punishment, he should have commuted the sentences of all 40 federal death row inmates. That would have taken more courage. The 3 excluded from this show of empathy were the 3 most famous. Applying principle to them would have kicked up a much bigger political storm. So where is the principle?

    President Biden has shown clear moral leadership by commuting these 37 federal death sentences. Not only does this action effectively fulfill his 2020 promise to end the death penalty at the federal level, it should also serve as a model and an incentive for state leaders to follow suit.

    No. The "37" says it all. You need to save all 40 before you can claim "clear moral leadership." The real test would be sparing those last 3: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Robert Bowers, and Dylann Roof.

    That would be difficult. That would take courage.

    Crappy timing for the families of the victims. Was January not an option?
