[QUOTE="Jones, post: 648809, member: 4805"] If the worst you can say about Huckabee is that he's too forgiving and willing to give people a second chance then that's not a bad thing. The real problem here is the whole concept of executive pardons. Governors and Presidents should not have the power to circumvent the courts by arbitrarily releasing convicted prisoners based on nothing more than their own opinions about the facts of the case. I'm not against the idea of commuting sentences per se, but the process should be handled within the court system, overseen by a judge with input from prosecutors and the inmate's attorneys. Huckabee should never have been the primary decision maker. [/QUOTE]
