In what is being called the largest single day of clemency, President Biden commuted 1500 sentences, including the lengthy sentence of a Pennsylvania judge.  Michael Conahan was convicted of funneling juveniles to for-profit detention facilities in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks, in what came to be nationally known as the “Kids for Cash” scandal.

In the last year of full Democratic control, 185 different bills were signed into law.  Still, the biggest change you're going to notice was not one of them.  The minimum wage is set to increase twice this year, once this month and once next month.  That's because the Supreme Court ruled back in late July that the legislature acted unconstitutionally when they voted to adopt and amend two ballot initiatives in the same session in 2018.  As ususal, many laws enacted make absolutely no sense.  Some are shown below.

Unsurprisingly for me, but perhaps surprisingly for others, Judge Jackson has violated 18 U.S. Code § 4 and by doing so has become a felon.  It may seem unbelievable that such an allegation can be true, but it is 100 percent a reality.  Understand that I do not use the term “justice” as part of her title because she is delivering the exact opposite of what I am requesting—and what she is obligated to do under the U.S. Constitution—which is injustice.

Some people trust judges in our country to do the right thing, to follow the law, to uphold justice, to follow the U.S. Constitution, and to be worthy of respect.  Sadly, few judges perform their duties as they swore they would.  Many do the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do.  Some even belong in prison—and not because they are simply disliked but because they have actually committed crimes.

If we the people must follow the law, our government must follow the Constitution.  But a tangled web of legal doctrines effectively places government workers above the law by making it nearly impossible for individuals to hold them accountable for violations of constitutional rights.  Outside of narrow exceptions, these doctrines give all those employed by the government—police, mayors, school officials, IRS agents, you name it—immunity from lawsuits, even if they act in bad faith.

In the past fifteen years, state and local judges have repeatedly escaped public accountability for misdeeds that have victimized thousands.  Nine of ten kept their jobs, a Reuters investigation found—including an Alabama judge who unlawfully jailed hundreds of poor people, many of them black, over traffic fines.  Incredibly, even deliberate nefarious behavior is almost universally covered by "immunity."

There are not many individuals in U.S. history who have run for president and who have also fought to keep innocent people in prison.  In fact, there is only one.  And that individual is Kamala Harris.  This puts her by herself in her very own special class of evil presidential candidates.
