    Honestly we’re at the point where the ability to pardon does more harm than good, and that’s from someone who for the most part would rather someone guilty walk free than someone innocent go to prison

      At the very least, full pardons shouldn’t be a thing and certainly not preemptive ones. Commutations only, and only after open hearings for each individual case.
