    Because 90% of 150,000 is still 135,000 individuals. How thorough do you want each of those “case by case” checks to be?

    If you want a blanket pardon for everyone with just a possession of marijuana charge that’s cool. But it’s not what the letter is asking for.

      You think the US government can’t do that if they want to? We have the technology. And the man power. And the ability to print money. What is the hold up?

      Do as many as you can. But the US is capable of doing that with the time left. We’re choosing not to.

        You realize the money printing department and the releasing people from prison department aren’t the same, right?

        Having a lot of people and having a lot of people qualified to individually examine 135k federal cases are two different things.

        You say it can be done, I disagree. It doesn’t seem like there’s much more to be said.

          I’m trying to guess what your reason for thinking the US can’t do something is because you wont say.

          Having a lot of people and having a lot of people qualified to individually examine 135k federal cases are two different things.

          There are plenty of qualified people.

          You say it can be done, I disagree. It doesn’t seem like there’s much more to be said.

          Why do you disagree?

          Regardless, in case you didn’t know, the US can do this. There is no reason we can’t and your argument doesn’t provide any. edit: typo
