We'll see, but I strongly doubt we see any sort of mass pardon or commutation before the 4th of November.

As is tradition for 2nd term Presidential pardons.

It's more because Obama has proven quite loath to use his political capital on inessentials, and he's made it quite clear to date that he views his pardon power an inessential.  The sole good thing is that has taken pains so far to ensure that he doesn't use it as a get out of jail free card for friends and political donors.

At what age do you recommend children start doing drugs?

Personally, I don't recommend they ever start, even as adults, yet I favor legalizing not only marihuana, but also the opioids and cocaine, essentially all those drugs whose production starts by growing something.  The harm those drugs do by enabling criminal organizations to flourish and by providing money for terrorists and revolutionaries far exceeds what benefits might be obtained for society by criminalizing them.  (And that doesn't even consider the invasions of civil privacy that the government engages in to fight them.)

The idea that only people who want to use drugs want to legalize them is bunk.

Which of the above posts are you referring to?  Or do you mean we cannot attack the putz attorney that resigned?

Some posts that were attacking other posters that have been deleted.
