Next up, murder to be decriminalized because of racial disparities against black men.
Unsure that's correct.
It's a federal charge, thus a pardon thru the federal.prison system. Or if they are on probation, that specific charge gets pardoned.
The rest of the post is obsolete ( going down the rabbit hole of murder etc)in reference to the topic of presidential power to pardon.
Our leniency is growing in some matters . I am not supportive of this measure ...
I wonder if this will hurt the Democratic Party on the issue of crime? After all, President Biden, with this action, just freed thousands of convicted criminals, in a time where crime rates as one of the top issues of the upcoming election...
When Trump let a bunch of dopers out of jail it was a good thing according to righties. Some of your fellow righties are actually supporting this move although being cynical about it.
Then there are some of you that apparently have amnesia.
In federal prison? Not many. Simple possession is almost always a state crime.
6500 is a small number. I am guessing people arrested on federal property like a national park or immigration checkpoint. I think Willie Nelson got busted that way.

Actually a lot of Trump voters are giving credit to Biden on this.

Or in Washington, DC, which is under federal jurisdiction. This move does nothing to impact those convicted at the state level.
If he as going to do that he should have done it on day one. So he let everybody rot in prison until it was political
Y convenient for him to pardon them.

This isn't going to accomplish much. As already noted, simple possession is almost always prosecuted as a state crime, not a federal crime, and Biden's action on this impacts only a very small number of people. Only a few thousand, nationwide.
