Sure. I’ll only be here another week or so…
Key word is that Harris WAS the Attorney General of California. Something that ended when she went to the Senate in 2017 and yeah in a State that had a lot of crime related to Cannabis it would only be logical that the States Attorney prosecuted a lot of those cases. That's what States Attorneys do. They don't make laws, they don't enforce laws, they prosecute violators of laws. Again though the key word in Biden's announcement is that he is going to be pardoning all that didn't involve violence, not most, not some, not just a few but ALL which would include even those that Harris prosecuted.
Defender of the Faith. Fall on your sword, son. Head pop.
Yeah unless the Governor decides to follow the President's example since state level crimes are pardonable by the Governor not the President.
Oh I didn't realize Biden was running in the mid terms. Look I realize as well as you or anyone else here that as of the moment it's just talk, I'm just willing to give him a chance to live up to his words. If he doesn't follow thru then he might as well not even run in 2024 because he'll have lost too many votes. I think he realizes that and he'll follow thru on at least the pardons otherwise the Republicans might end up having a chance in 2024 unless a younger candidate primaries him for the Presidency. Because I don't see the voters he'll lose decide to vote for the Republican candidate, they'll just do like you and not vote at all thereby giving the Republicans a shot if they haven't lost too much of the women's vote by setting the Supreme Court up to overturn Roe vs Wade.
Because it was Obama's Presidency and therefore Obama's call to make. Obama did at least make it possible for states to experiment with state legalization by ordering his Attorney General to not go after people who complied with state laws.
You realize what midterms mean. Don’t be coy. It represents the health of your party.
state cases cannot be pardoned by a POTUS. but you want to blame him for that, got it...he asked the governors to address that part. did you see that? or just chose to ignore it ?
And, then he went after them anyway.
I live in Massachusetts. Nobody asked you to fix anything.
Uhmm Yeah I saw it. Thats why I feel it doesn't help the majority in prison and this is really, nothing but an attempt to win votes from those who cant comprehend more than a headline and think this move applies to those with state convictions.
Cotton is a moral degenerate fukin idiot of the worst kind.
Something I wonder about is if you were convicted federally are you prohibited from voting? If so this move does free up thousands of votes dating back to the early 70s. As it was pointed out it also removes the stigma of conviction. All drug charges should be forgiven, federally and in the states.
i think it must be a felony/violent/or involving "moral turpitude" before they start stripping rights away. not sure though...
would you not agree that SOMEBODY has to go first? many of the states that have not legalized/decriminalized have said publicly (Tennessee included, damn pussies) that they were waiting on the federal govt to move to give them cover. here is the first federal step taken, but you aint happy because you think Dems might get some votes out of the deal. whoever went first IS going to get some votes for it, but it was not a GOP president who did so...wonder why that was?
Who did what? First to do nothing? Why didn't Obama pardon them. I would say he was voted in, as the first black president, with the hope that he was going to do exactly this plus much more. Hempy knew better. Hempy was not fooled by Obama.would you not agree that SOMEBODY has to go first? many of the states that have not legalized/decriminalized have said publicly (Tennessee included, damn pussies) that they were waiting on the federal govt to move to give them cover. here is the first federal step taken, but you aint happy because you think Dems might get some votes out of the deal. whoever went first IS going to get some votes for it, but it was not a GOP president who did so...wonder why that was?
