Editor, Times-Union:
If the U.S. survives another 250 years, historians will remember the two darkest periods in our history: the Civil War and the Biden administration. And they both lasted about the same length of time, showing how much damage can be done in only a few years.
Joe Biden commutes all but three on Death Row. Now let me ask all of those with some sort of brain life, if this was a Republican president with proven mental incapabilities that would grant any commutations, wouldn't a Democrat-appointed judge strike these down as unconstitutional? Given the fact he has already been described by his own DOJ as not capable of standing trial on his own right, being mentally declined. So I ask why wouldn't any judge that swore to uphold the Constitution halt any of his pardons, commutations, executive orders and let the Supreme Court decide.
We currently have a blind justice system when it comes to this president. Jan 20, 2025, can not come soon enough. And I don't want to hear **** about Trump pardoning all who were charged for the Capitol breach of Jan 6, 2021, where no one was killed (Murdered) except Ashli Babbitt by a Capitol Hill policeman Michael Byrd.
