John Hinderaker:
There is much that one could say about this, starting with the fact that the ACLU—a worthless left-wing organization—gave the Biden White House a list of 2,500 “non-violent drug offenders” for Biden (or whoever) to pardon.
This is pretty revealing—a left-wing White House outsourcing the president’s constitutional pardon power to a left-wing policy organization. Sure, Joe Biden is senile. But was there ever any serious possibility that—forget about Joe—his staff would take the trouble to look into the ACLU’s list and verify that the people on it met the Left’s low bar for clemency? No. The ACLU provided the list, and Joe, probably not knowing where he was or what day it was, signed the document.
One wonders, too, about the role of the ACLU. Did the ACLU know about Peeler’s history as a killer? They may have. Peeler was sentenced to 25 years for the murders—not nearly long enough—but it was OK, since he was also sentenced to 35 years on the federal drug dealing charges, which would follow after the state incarceration. So the ACLU may well have thought that, as to the current sentence that would have kept the murderer in prison for another 35 years, Peeler was a “non-violent drug offender.”
This is the corrupt world, not just of the Biden administration, but of liberalism in general.
