Sickening.
Obama is a thoroughly loathsome creature. The clemency to the FALN terrorist is equally disgusting.
It is, as you say, equally disgusting -- and equally revealing, in at least two ways.
First, so much for the "low level, non-violent" offender tripe. The FALN terrorist planted over 100 bombs.
Second, both commutations were given to enemies of America. Now why would a person grant clemency to America's enemies? The answer is clear to me: Because the grantor thinks America is a sinister, shameful country that deserves what these criminals had in mind for it.
The frightening thing is that Obama has another 60 hours in which to do yet more damage.
A constitutional amendment to cabin this gross abuse of the executive's clemency power is going to have to be considered.
