Joe Biden has just made history again….
And once again not for good reasons.
WLT Report had more details:
It seems that in lieu of faithfully executing the Office of President, or preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution (as the Presidential Oath of Office states, taken straight from the Constitution), Biden is settling for the optics of a “merciful god” — and by “god”, in this case I mean lawless tyrant.
It isn’t so much that he is pardoning and extending clemency to certain people; though that is part of the issue.
But it’s primarily that he is obviously intent on claiming the prize of “Most Commuted Sentences” award.
Check out this breaking news clip from Fox News for more detail.
In a gesture which I suppose may be intended to steal some of the thunder from the expansive pardon he granted his own son, Biden pardoned 39 and commuted the sentences of approximately 1,500 people today in one fell swoop.
And he’s not done yet!
Biden is planning on passing out even more pardons and extending even more clemencies before he exits the White House.
But he has already issued the single greatest number of clemencies in American history, according to Fox News:
President Biden has commuted jail sentences for nearly 1,500 people and granted 39 pardons, marking the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history, the White House announced Thursday morning.
Sentences were commuted for inmates placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who “have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities,” according to the announcement. The 39 individuals pardoned were convicted of non-violent crimes, the White House said.
“The President has issued more sentence commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms,” White House officials said in a statement.
Biden hinted that he plans to make more pardons an celemencies before he leaves office.
“I will take more steps in the weeks ahead. My Administration will continue reviewing clemency petitions to advance equal justice under the law, promote public safety, support rehabilitation and reentry, and provide meaningful second chances,” Biden said.
Thursday’s pardons come as the president faces bipartisan criticism for pardoning his son, Hunter, of felony gun and tax charges.
For someone who spends half his time complaining that President Trump may pardon those Americans rolled up by the Biden Department of Justice and labeled J6 insurrectionists, Biden certainly has an affinity for extending both pardons and clemency!
At least those 39 people he pardoned had been convicted of nonviolent crimes.
But it’s a shame to have a President — the ranking Executive of the Executive Branch — more focused on pardoning and commuting sentences than enforcing the law to begin with.
Though Biden’s attempt at mass applied mercy certainly caught some well-deserving individuals, the methodology of choosing the recipients of Biden’s mercy was decidedly “woke” in nature.
