Prez Biden getting lots of advice concerning how he should use his clemency powers

Joe Biden has really been a lame-duck president for nearly four month since he announced in late July that he was not going to run for reelection.  But with the 2024 election now completed, Prez Biden is officially at the true lame-duck stage of his presidency, a period in which it is especially common for modern presidents to make extra use of their clemency pen.  Perhaps unsurpisingly, a lot of folks have a lot of advice for Prez Biden concerning how he should use his clemency power, and he is an abridged review of some coverage and commentary:

From the ACLU, “Biden Must Use Final Months in Office to Commute Federal Death Sentences“

From Paul Rosenzweig at The Atlantic, “Pardon Trump’s Critics Now: President Biden has a moral obligation to do what he can for patriotic Americans who have risked it all.”

Harold J. Krent at The Hill, “How Biden can make pardons a stamp on his legacy“

From Chris Geidner at Law Dork, “Joe Biden has a moral, ethical responsibility to clear the federal death row“

From Bruce Ledewitz at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “Mr. President: Pardon Donald Trump“

From Politico, “Biden faces pressure from Hill Democrats to grant clemency for drug crimes“
