What about state Governor pardons? I agreed with then NY Governor David Paterson's pardon of John White, a man convicted of murder (or manslaughter, I forgot which) for defending his family. Look it up, the races of the people involved may surprise you.

They also should not be able to pardon or commute any sentence for anyone.

Did you look up the case? It was widely believed that John White was simply defending his family, but got convicted anyway. I applauded Governor Paterson for pardoning him, because I believed White to be innocent from the very beginning.

I believe in the rule of law, not men. There will be mistakes by any man or woman, but the rule of law is what makes this nation great.
Not if the people obama pardoned were the rule. Violent criminals who plead down to a lesser charge, felons, illegal alien felons, the head of the PR terrorist organization whose members clinton/holder pardoned.
Throw in clinton and holder pardoning the PR terrorists who killed people and Marc Rich, the bernie madoff of the 90s.
Trump's pardon of arpaio, convicted for a misdomeanor, should not tbe the case to prompt the question should a prez have the right to pardon.
Something has to be done about judges inventing laws out of thin air.
Perhaps if the POTUS gave a clear and exact reason as to WHY he is pardoning them, it might make sense. Like when OBama pardoned someone guilty of illegally dumping toxic waste. Why?
No one asked about Presidents pardoning until Trump pardoned the sheriff.
I often wonder what makes these particular dirt bags worthy of pardoning. Here are a few of the offenses:
Conspiracy to smelt U.S. coins
Conspiracy to steal bank funds
Unlawful disposal of hazardous waste without a permit and causing a criminal act
Fraudulent issuance of money orders; theft of government property
Wire fraud (10 counts); mail fraud (two counts); conspiracy to steal trade secrets; conspiracy to transport stolen goods; interstate transportation of stolen goods
Why did Obama pardon these people?
