Yeah, it's great for his legacy. But, I'm STILL not hearing a WORD about the 40 people on federal/military death row. His legacy would be SEALED if he commuted their sentences to LIFE and denied Trump the opportunity to execute them. He would be a HERO then.

“America was built on the promise of possibility and second chances,” he said.
Who else agrees this is an awesome move for President Biden’s legacy!!

1. The 39 people he pardoned were all home from incarceration
2. The 1,499 people he commuted were back on home confinement
I am very happy for all of them, and know some of them...but, he has yet to pardon a person currently incarcerated in a federal facility
But, I would really like to see some clemency extended to people who are actually in prison (and yes, everyone on death row)
