I'm more interested in the subtext of the pardon.
Why this person specifically? And why at this time? Perhaps the discussion shouldn't be about the actual subject of the pardon, and perhaps more about the motives of the pardoner...

He actually promised a commutation; I wonder why he upgraded to pardon. He also promised a libertarian in his cabinet; oh well. The LP chairwoman has made very interesting political moves this election.
- mrandish 2y agoYeah, I'm pleased that Ross is out after serving over 10 years, but I wish it had been a commutation. He was guilty. The problem is the judge wildly over sentencing. Ten years served is about right for what he was convicted of.

Ross made it safer for those involved, and even those not involved. Inner cities are war zones because drug deals must be done in person. He deserves a full pardon.
