Clemency criticisms as Prez Biden’s record is now turkeys 2, humans 0

More than a decade ago, it took a couple years of Thanksgiving turkey pardon rituals before Prez Obama started receiving considerable grief for only granting clemencies to birds and not humans.  But I suppose we have made some progress in the last decade, as now one can find a few year-one commentaries assailing the Prez Biden’s clemency record that is just fit the the farm and not for families:

From Marijuana Moment, “Biden Pardons Turkeys, But White House Has ‘Nothing New’ On Relief For Marijuana Prisoners“

From the New York Post, “Biden laughs off question about clemency for humans before pardoning turkeys“

From the Star Tribune, “When it comes to human pardons, thanks for nothing: President Joe Biden hasn’t just not pardoned anyone — he’s just letting the requests sit unanswered.”

Disappointingly, there is still a lot more discussion of the names and fate of the turkeys who were “pardoned” than of the broken federal clemency process and the thousands of clemency requests so far ignored by the Biden Administration.  Sigh.
