The power to pardon comes from State Constitutions, so it’s not consistent...mostly it’s the Governor but sometimes with other officials, sometimes it’s an independent board, sometimes it’s only if the board has recommended, etc.

It’s a lovely thought, but it seems complicated as all heck to achieve.

I do wonder how these next four years will go. I’m so relieved; I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy about a new President. Yet there is so much to fix, even at the best of times, and these are not those!
